Welcome the new program year! We are returning this year with our Executive Committee intact (same as last year) and ready for action. Your new Program Chair, Dan Belotto, has already lined up a number of dinner meetings and tours for you. Joe Schimek has made preparations for the Profession Development courses required for PE renewal. We are continuing with a reduced number of newsletter mailings, but our website is updated monthly and we will send email reminders of events monthly, as well. And lastly, you can always call any of us for information, but remember we are all working professionals!
I’d like to thank all the Executive Committee members from last program year for a job well done. They provided you a great program of dinner meetings and tours. Our goal this year is to provide quality programs and tours, as was done last year!
I look forward to seeing you at the next meeting!
