Planning Ahead for 2010

It is the time of the year when your Board of Directors begins planning for a smooth transition from the old Board (2009) to the new Board (2010). Several key positions will be opening up and we need (and appreciate) your input. Director positions are filled for one, two and three year periods. As your President for the last two years, I will not be allowed to serve again (the President’s office is a one year position with a maximum of two consecutive terms).

The heart of CIAA is the Board of Directors. Without good people on the Board our association would die. Therefore, it is very important to not only seek out and find excellence but to assure that the Board has a continuous life. We need your help!

Here are the positions that we need your help finding qualified individuals for:

• President
• Vice President
• Marketing Committee Chairman
• Finance Committee
• Website Committee
• Trade Show Committee
• Educational Programming

On September 16th, the nominating committee (composed of all past presidents) will meet to discuss all suggestions for the above positions. The elections will be held at our December meeting. If you would like to nominate someone (or offer your own name for consideration), please contact me prior to the September 16th meeting. Thank you for your input and concern for the future of CIAA.
