Welcome to the Michiana Chapter of the IIA! Your president and board members have been working hard on building a Chapter Revitalization and Foundation plan. We have some exciting activities planned for this year and have developed a three to five year plan that is gripping: Some serious “Wow”! And we are on the hunt for future chapter leadership. The first sentence of our chapter mission statement says: “The mission of the Michiana Chapter of IIA is to provide quality training, development and networking opportunities to all of our members…” As chapter leadership, we will be working as a team to deliver on that mission. And we will need your support – the story is simple - this is your chapter: Collegiality and collaboration are the keys to success. You will notice some immediate changes this year. Most of our meetings will be evening meetings. Our meetings will be a ‘one stop shop’ so reserve the second Thursday of the month for IIA activities. Our meetings will consist of a central location, comfortable business environment, great meal, a super topic of interest, CPE, and networking. And all for around $40.00. The best bargain in town! Our board will be meeting before or after the chapter meetings - full coverage in one night! More importantly, mark your calendar for November 8, our annual student night. We have experienced over 75% growth in attendance over the past two years for this event: Like most of our meetings, it will be held at IUSB where we have negotiated for excellent accommodations for our monthly meetings. We expect ‘standing room only’ this year based on the topic and the speaker we are going to have. Stay tuned for more about this in the next week or two. In January, the second Tuesday of the month, we have joint a meeting scheduled with the Michiana Chapter of APICS- The Association for Operations Management. This promises to be interesting and applicable session. What would February be without some recognition of Valentine’s day? Bring your spouse or partner to our February meeting free! We will be hearing about teamwork as we are serenaded by one of the finest trio’s in Michiana. You will be a hit with your guest with the meal and special activities we have planned. March and April will feature topics our members have requested such as project management, workpaper management, and career development. We will close this year with a blast in May! Awards, recognition and something very different and memorable for our last meeting of the year. You will definitely want to be there! Take time to thank your board- this only works as a team effort: We all want the Michiana chapter of IIA to make a difference in our members’ lives, our community and our profession. Don Holland, President
