President's Message
June 3, 2008
As I begin this year as your Council President I am
excited about the ideas and energy that were shared at our Leadership Training
in Sacramento on May 2nd. Thanks to Mike Van Roy for his idea to
group our breakout sessions by topic. This provided a very interactive session
with some excellent ideas shared by all! Jeff Jones, in his final meeting as our
Secretary, provided thorough and detailed notes for all of us and I will be
sharing this information during the June 14th IMA Chapter and Council
Volunteer Leader Workshop in Tampa. Thanks for all of your help Jeff! Several
of our Council members are planning to attend the IMA Chapter and Council
Volunteer Leader Workshop which precedes the IMA Conference. Any and all
members are welcome and encouraged to attend. If anyone has a particular idea
or thought that would you like discussed at the meeting please email me directly

Over
our lunch at the Leadership Training we had an excellent presentation by
Larry Bienati, Ph.D. Senior
Principal, Consultants to Management, Inc. Larry's style was very interactive
and the feedback from everyone was extremely positive! If anyone has a chance
to hear Larry speak I would HIGHLY recommend him. After the meeting several of
us attended the Rivercats game after sharing a quite bit to eat Downtown.
Although they lost, we certainly all had a great time at the game.
I would like to close by extending a
BIG thank you to Robert Hulin for his tireless work and dedication over the past
two years as our outgoing President. He has left some really big shoes to
fill!
I look forward to seeing all of you
at an upcoming Council meeting!
Sincerely
Sandy
Sandy Giberson
