CHAPTER NEWS   
President's Message  

President's Call to Action!

Members of ISPI Vancouver,

The first three months of my term as president have flown by. The work done by our dedicated executive is very impressive, not just for the success we have but for the ease in which it happens. It is a team that flows, drawing from the strength of each member and supporting each other as we find our other lives pressing in and easing off.

The executive is at a time for renewal, in June at the AGM we will be passing many roles on to new or returning executive members. Please consider the contribution you can make to our organization and step forward to support the organization in an executive position for two years. The time commitment varies by the role and the amount of work you can give so let me know if you can participate. I'll be happy to discuss the various roles available and how they fit with you. Give me a call!

Thanks,

Margy
