NAIFA National By-Law Committee put forth a by-law change proposal earlier this year that would permit Candidate Members to hold the local chapter offices of Secretary and Treasurer. That proposal was unanimously approved at the October 2004 National Education Conference in Chicago. Previously, those offices required a member to hold at a minimum the IFA designation. Also approved was the proposal to permit Candidate Members to vote in local chapter elections. Retained was the By-Law that prohibits a Candidate Member from holding any State, Regional, or National office.

Our chapter was represented at the National Education Conference by President Randy Shervey, past President Lloyd Werner, and Second Vice President Joni Cook. Margaret Sullivan, Executive Vice President of NAIFA will be retiring from that position. She will be greatly missed by all of us who have had the pleasure of knowing her personally.

2) Speaker - Randy Shervey, Joni Cook, and Lloyd Werner will speak on their attendance of the NAIFA Education Conference at Chicago in October.
