Dear chapter members:
Quick notes from Montreal before the Office Expo opens.
Here's the official count of eligible delegates to case votes:
Int'l Officers - 12
Division Officer Delegates - 34
Chapter Delegates 273
Chapter Alternates - 132
Members At Large - 1
Chapter At Large - 1
total number of registered attendess as of 8:30am was 1,018.
-----------
We have four chapter members in attendance at EFAM- which is pretty darn good considering we
have 32 members!
Int'l Board of Directors President Mary Ramsey-Drow focused her final report to the membership on the financial* standing of IAAP. You'll be happy to hear that IAAP is in better shape this year financially, going from a deficit of $465,000 (2009) to an approximate profit margin of $160,000. Membership retention has grown and that has helped reduce the percentage decline in membership.
I will file a complete report to the chapter before our August meeting.
One note of concern I will be raising at the candidates forum is that there are three candidates from the Southeast district for positions on the Int'l Board of Directors. It seems a bit unfair (?) that four of our leadership officers (not District Directors) would all be from the Southeast Division. I might be wrong on my take on this.. but it doesn't strike me as a fair representation of the membership.
More later on this from me.
Hope you are staying cool.. it is about 83 here today in Montreal.
