Summer Fun and Looking Ahead to Fall.

Dear Chapter mates and friends- 
Look what happened on the way to the EFAM!  Just kidding.  Unfortunately, I fell ill at EFAM and did not blog about all the cool and interesting stuff that happens at the IAAP annual meeting. But I do have some info to share-- so here we go.

I can tell you that the keynote from Vernice Armour was inspiring and one of the most genuine (as in keeping it real) presentations I've seen in many years of going to conventions/meeting.  I suggest checking her website out for more information: http://www.vernicearmour.com.  

There are changes coming to the CPS/CAP certification program.  We will have copies of the handout provided by IAAP at our upcoming events.  Or simply log in to the IAAP-HQ.org website and you can access the link to the pdf with the details.

Quick notes on upcoming chapter events!
