news
from around the region
…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
