CHAPTER NEWS


President's Letter - March 16, 2009

At our February meeting, we mentioned to those who attended that our membership was significantly low - 50% lower than it has been, and that we were at a pivotal point in our ISPI journey. We encouraged people to renew memberships and for guests to join. For our March 10th session, we asked you to bring guests and you delivered! 35% of those who attended on Tuesday night were guests....and we had 9 members sign up that night!

Both our February session with Matt MacEachern and our March session with Julie Hamilton were hits! Those who came provided excellent feedback and there was quite a buzz both during and after Tues night's session..[ Click here to read the rest of Erica's Letter!]


Half-year membership now available. Join, or renew your membership online today!

The half-year membership year runs from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009. Get all the benefits for the remainder of the membership year! To renew your ISPI Vancouver membership, or to join, click here.
