New Challenges Ahead

I hope to see you soon at the annual Convention in Carlsbad. It is a great opportunity to build connections, learn from each other, and attend valuable educational seminars. One of the most important meetings is the Annual Membership Meeting. This is where the annual budget is discussed, bylaws changes voted upon, and State Board Members elected. The Convention concludes with the Trophy Awards competition dinner Friday night. If you have entered the competition, good luck. I hope you are able to take time out of your busy schedules to attend.

As the year comes to an end, so does my term as your Chapter President. I want to thank you for all your support during my time in this role, and I hope you continue to support the incoming board in the future. Although I look forward to tackling new challenges, I will remain on the board as Board Chairman/Immediate Past President and continue working to help improve the Channel Islands Chapter wherever I can.
