Chapter President: Joni Cook, IFA
First Vice President: Charles Gibson, IFA
Second Vice President: Tim Sellers, IFA

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 - Bob Kirkland, Technical Advisor
with Environmental Protection Agency. |
