CPRS NORTHERN LIGHTS UPCOMING EVENTS
Hi All:
In preparation for the upcoming 2009-2010 season, CPRS-Northern Lights is undertaking its first annual membership survey.
As an executive, our ideas are limited to the five of us, and although we come up with some pretty exceptional stuff, we know that you too are full of ideas for great session topics, suggested speakers, or heck, even a good caterer!
Don’t discriminate - ask for the moon! We’ll see what we can do (within our budget constraints, of course).
The survey will shut down by next Wednesday, September 30. Please take a moment to fill it out before then. It shouldn’t take long and will really help make our great chapter even better.
