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
