March 2016 President’s Message

Greetings!

Spring is just around the corner, according to Punxsutawney Phil, so let’s help it along by doing something a little different for our next meeting! Our March meeting will be in Green Bay at Titletown Brewing Co. for an evening of “Beer and Bytes”. A great opportunity to relax, network and listen to our speaker, Amy Pietsch. And I promise to keep chapter business to a minimum! Look for details on our website and in the newsletter.

And speaking of chapter business, we are always seeking help and participation from our membership. Our membership helps define our NEW AITP chapter and your input helps guide your elected leaders in providing an organization that meets your needs. Chapter members are always welcome to attend our chapter and region board meetings. NEW AITP Board of Directors meetings are typically held before each monthly chapter meeting. Region 5 AITP Board of Directors and Leadership meetings are held in the Spring and Fall of each year. And the (National) Association Board of Directors hold an ABOD meeting at the end of each month via conference call.

So, I’m inviting you to welcome the coming of Spring by doing something different; to attend a board meeting, to come see our process, to hear the discussions, to be a part of the chapter – to get involved! Our next Chapter Board of Directors meeting is 3:00pm, March 16th at Titletown Brewing Co. Our next Region 5 Board of Directors and Leadership meetings are April 8th at NCC in Chicago. Contact a board member or check out our website for details. Looking forward to seeing you at a board meeting soon!

– Jay Esty, 2016 President
