Our sights are set on an incredible fall chapter program schedule.  It's time to put the lazy hazy days of summer behind us and kick back into full gear.   

For starters, the 2011 board elections will be here before you know it  (November Meeting).  Your board is committed to broadening the involvement to fresh faces.  Veterans and Newbies alike, we want to share the passion and keep our chapter growing and having an industry impact.

Please get in touch with any of the current members of the board and find your niche... We want to see a healthy quest for board and committee involvement to drive us into 2011 and beyond.
