June 30, 2010,
Dear Members,
Our 2009-2010 year has come to an end. During this year we had fantastic presentations conducted by some of the finest professionals in our special area of expertise. They were very well received and attendance at them surpassed expectations.
The seminar in June was a huge success. I would like to thank CAR and NE-IASIU for all of their time and support in making it as enjoyable and informative as it was. The campaign is already lined up for next year’s seminar and the preliminary strategy has it at the same location, being held the first week of June, 2011. So make your plans now. On keeping on that subject, the seminar is always looking for new speakers and vendors. If anyone has any ideas, please step forward and let us know.
I cannot say enough about this Board of Directors. The support that I received this past year from this Board was tremendous. We were able to accomplish many tasks which in turn made this organization all that much better. The new and improved website is an achievement that has already proved successful and will only continue to develop in the future.
Our membership is up, participation is up, and attendance at our meetings is up, all as a result of a wonderful, productive Board and a fantastic membership, both full and associate. I have full confidence that our incoming President, Colleen Cassidy, will continue with the upward direction that this organization is headed.
I would like to thank everyone for all that they have done this past year. It has been an honor, it has been fantastic, and it has been satisfying serving as President of your organization. I wish Colleen the best of luck and I will afford her all of my support. I am convinced that all of you will as well for the upcoming year 2010-2011.
Thank-you all,
David M. Potter
NEAIFI Outgoing President
