Letter from the Past President

 

Dear Chapter members,

 

The ISSA National Capital Chapter needs you to nominate our 2015 Chapter Officers!  We are looking for new people with fresh ideas so we can continue to provide maximum value to our membership.  Board service is a small investment of time (perhaps 4 hours a month, including the regular Chapter meetings), but I have found it to be very rewarding, both personally and professionally, and I think you will, too.  If you are a Chapter Member in good standing, you may nominate any Chapter Member (or yourself) for office.  If you would like to help build our Chapter, please consider nominating someone for a Board Position, or running for a position yourself.

·                     President
·                     Executive Vice-President
