Come to the April 27th meeting and greet these fine individuals in person.

We hope to see you all at our Summer Meeting on July 26, 2010. The meeting will be held at the GTRI Conference Center, 250 14th Street NW, Atlanta, GA from 9 am until 4:30 pm. Nancy Orr will be presenting "Ethical Fitness:  Choosing Between Right versus Right."

As you are probably aware, beginning with the 2006-2010 Certification Maintenance (CM) cycle, at least 0.33 CM points per 5 years must be in the "IH Ethics" rubric/point category. These count toward the 10-point minimum for "IH" points . The ethics training scheduled for our July 26 meeting will meet this requirement (e.g., item 4b on the current CM worksheet).
