…from your Director

 

We are having an organizational meeting for the new Port Arthur chapter on Thursday, May 29 in Port Arthur. If you  have an interest please join us. Contact me, Sandy Field, Terry Johnson, or De’Ann Gill with the Houston chapter for more information.

 

The Houston chapter has gone through some changes.  Chapter President Kathy Sterling has resigned due to personal obligations. Kathy will be missed by all.  Sandy Field will complete Kathy’s term as President and is running for President 2008-2009.

 

The Region 7 Website is under construction.  I need some help from one of you talented women to volunteer to administer our website.  My knowledge of such things is limited, at best, and there simply are not enough hours in the day for me to learn this process.  So, please contact me if you have an interest in taking on this task.

 

Election of your 2008-2009 Chapter Officers and Directors is coming up in June and the Nominating Committees are looking for candidates.  Serving on your chapter’s Board of Directors is a wonderful opportunity for personal and professional growth as well as utilizing your unique talents for the benefit of all.  I urge you to consider serving in some capacity – it just might be the best thing you have ever done for yourself and others.

 

Plans are under way for a Region 7 Leadership Training workshop on August 18 in Austin.  This workshop is for the benefit of incoming Officers, Directors, and Committee Chairs to learn more about the opportunities and responsibilities available to them.   Of course, any member is welcome to attend.  More information will be available soon.

 

Along with this newsletter are the results of the exit survey. I want to thank all of you who took the time to complete them.  Our regional conferences and events are for you, our members, and we cannot improve them without your input.

 

Thank you,

Julia Campbell
