President’s Message
It’s a great time to be part of IABC Utah. Our 2008 line-up lends many opportunities for professional development (PD sessions), networking, and skill-building to get the most out of your IABC membership. Additionally, we are making great strides with the local colleges and universities to offer mentoring and ways students can get involved.
Join us for our June 17 social at the Living Planet Aquarium where we will recognize annual award winners and learn how this unique venue develops marketing, fund-raising, and communications plans. Click here for more information and to register for the event (Please RSVP by Monday, June 16).
Our annual Spring Conference was a success and we had more than 125 in attendance. Click on the Blog page to read highlights from the day and provide your comments about the conference.
Earlier this year, IABC Utah launched a new, interactive Web site using WordPress technology. The new site will allow our chapter to deliver news, job postings, and other information more quickly to members. It also offers members the ability to comment on articles and provide feedback. We are excited to hear from you and encourage your use of this feature. Members will also be able to automatically subscribe to our site and receive the latest updates via E-mail.
Later, a Members-Only section will be available for downloads of past PD session materials and other information exclusive to members of IABC Utah.
If you are new to IABC or a returning member, we encourage you to explore the site and attend an upcoming PD session. I look forward to seeing you soon.
Lori Whipple
President, IABC Utah
