Welcome to Spring!  It has been nice to see the trees and flowers in bloom.  It's a little wet today, but spring is in the air.

We had our general meeting March 17th and it was a great time of networking and learning more about our members.  Victoria Anderson shared her experiences preparing and running in a half marathon.  We laughed with her and felt her pain.  The ICE BATH was an interesting concept.  If you missed the event, you will have to ask her about that.  She said that she looks forward to them, I still get the chills thinking about it.

The nominating committee gave their report and recommended the following members to the membership for the 2011/2012 term of officers and directors.  The nominations are as follows:

Directors:
Reina Castillo, Kimberly Combs, Judy Grill, Tracey Hodge, Esmeralda Mendez.

Treasurer - Kathleen Soares
Secretary - Shirley Leone
2nd Vice President - Karen White
1st Vice President - Noelia Weissbrod
President - Alison Holmes

The elections will be held at our General Meeting, April 21st, 2011.  Please plan to attend this meeting.  All members have the right to vote and should be present to let their voice be heard.  This is your opportunity to help steer the direction of our association.

We will also have a guest speaker at the April Meeting.  Robert Weidert, from The National Alliance for Education & Research will be talking to us about the opportunities available and the New CISR Referral Program.  Plan to join us and bring your questions regarding What National Alliance has to offer NAIW members.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any of our officers and directors.  Have a Great Spring.

See you at the next meeting,
Cathy Temple, AIS, CPIW, DAE
President 2010/2011
