ISPI Vancouver Elections

*** For an update on the status of elections, click here. ***

ISPI Vancouver is holding elections for Executive Council Positions this June. The Chapter Constitution states that the Executive Council includes at least eight elected officers. The current officers are listed on our Website. We need to fill at least two positions:

1. President Elect. The member who fills this vacant position will also serve as 2005 President and 2006 Past President.

2. Vice President of Membership. This position, which will be vacant at the end of June, is for a two-year term from July 2004 to June 2006. With a new online membership database on the way, the VP Membership's role is evolving - so this is an exciting time for the incumbent to step into the role.

If you are interested in an executive position, please contact Erica Groschler (ericag@telus.net or 604-263-7490). Erica is a past-president of ISPI Vancouver and will be coordinating the election process.

Nominations (including self-nominations) will be accepted up to and including June 7, 2004. If required, elections for contested positions will be held electronically a week later.

The BC HRMA Training and Development Roundtable has invited ISPI Vancouver members to participate in a highly interactive and memorable evening of team building and drumming with The Drum Café on June 28. Enjoy a complimentary glass of wine, light appetizers, some great networking and a fun evening of drumming.

No charge but registration is required, and a limited number of spaces will be available to ISPI Vancouver members. More details are available at:

Space is limited, so register soon!

Say Cheese! Mark your calendar for June 8th

Say cheese! It's time for an ISPI Vancouver Cracker Barrel. The evening of June 8th we'll have half a dozen presenters running simultaneous table discussions. The format will be both intereactive and informative. Participants will be able to pick the three they most want to hear.
