President’s
Message September 2009
Summer
sad to say is almost over, but on the positive side that means the start of a
new association year. Some of
us got an early start at our summer event at Scioto Downs. We had a good turn out and it was a nice evening.
Thanks Angie for planning and coordinating this for us.
Some
of this is a repeat from last year’s September message but some information
bears repeating. We are happy
to have all of you as members of IPOCO. The
old cliché is what you get out of an organization is what you put into it.
Our standing committee chairs this year are:
Bylaws:
Heidi Kugler, Communications: Angie Schmitt, Community Service: Karen Lawson,
Membership: Julie Williams, Safety: Michelle Ackermann, Program: Elaine
Fagan-Moore and Education: Kon Chittavong.
Ask
them about their committees or look at the job description manual on our website
for some additional information - and try becoming a member of one of the
committees that interests you. Get
the most benefit from your IPOCO membership through participation.
Thanks to those of you that returned year
end surveys. We will work to
provide the educational opportunities you would like this year.
Our Ohio Council ‘Communicate with Confidence’
speak-off will be part of the Annual Meeting and Legislation Day in November.
We have a number of excellent speakers in our association.
It would be nice to have a representative from IPOCO participating this
year.
Look for minutes from our regular business meeting on
our association website (www.naiw-ipoco.org)
under the monthly bulletin tabs. Notify
Stacey Nichols to report proposed corrections.
Printed copies will be provided on request
