I’m honored to serve as IABC Phoenix chapter president for the 2009-2010 board term. The Board of Directors team for this year is an outstanding group of volunteers (including Molly Ingham–who recently joined the team as VP, Finance and was not mentioned with the Board of Directors list above). I’m looking forward to all that we’ll accomplish this year for our members, and for the community.

And, Abbie, of course I’d love to continue to find ways for the IABC Phoenix and Phoenix PRSA chapters to work together. I plan to keep in touch as you prepare to fulfill the role of Phoenix PRSA chapter president next year (Congratulations!).

Congratulations and Thank You to the 2009-2010 IABC Phoenix Board of Directors, and to all of our dedicated volunteers. I look forward to serving as your chapter president!

Here’s to a great year for the IABC Phoenix chapter (and to me finally getting a new headshot taken). :)

From a purely male perspective…don’t re-do your head shot! ;)

Very excited for 09-10 term! :) Any suggestions you all have for non-profit and/or student involvement, let me know. I’m happy to do whatever I can to support both non-profit and student efforts for the IABC Phoenix Board of Directors.
