PRESIDENT'S CORNER
From
the Desk of Linda Salvano, C.P.M.
First
and foremost, I am honored to serve as the President of CAPM, Inc.
This year will be an exciting one with many new changes and
additional benefits for our members.
Despite two economically difficult years, CAPM has
maintained its level of excellence in serving our membership with
great programs. It has
hit the ground running with a number of new initiatives for the
upcoming year. The
membership voted in favor of changing our name to ISM-CT, which
will be completed over the next few months and we expect to start
2011 under our new name. Another new addition is our LinkedIn CAPM
group where not only discussions can be joined but also jobs can
be posted and reviewed for those in transition.
The
Education and Training committee is working on offering webinars
for our members in addition to our workshops.
Trying to reach out to include all our members for
exceptional training is a goal I embrace.
The committee has set up an outstanding line-up for
programs this year and our Forum is expected to surpass this past
year’s huge success.
The
Membership/Marketing committee has done a great job with member
retention and increasing member participation in CAPM events.
Currently they are offering a half off membership to new
members for the remainder of 2010.
If you have a fellow worker who would like to join, now is
a time to take advantage of this offer.
The M/M food drive for the Connecticut Food Bank this year
was an impressive undertaking for the committee.
They more than tripled the amount donated from last year
thanks to the membership. They
will plan to do the food drive again in February-April 2011.
Please watch for the link and please donate generously.
Thank you.
The
annual awards banquet was held on May 16 at the Elk’s Club in
Westbrook. The
location was lovely as it is on the Long Island Sound and everyone
enjoyed the beautiful day. This
event recognizes the Board members, those serving on Committees
and all members who contributed to a successful year.
It is also when we award our scholarship winners.
I’d like to congratulate this year’s scholarship
winners: Jordyn
Rombola (Harry Van Rhyn), Michelle Slater (May D. Warzocha) and
Barbara Harding (Richard V. Bradshaw); you can read the details on
page-1.
I
look forward to working with the outstanding team of Board
members, the Board of Advisors, committees, and the membership to
make the next year a successful one.
And speaking of outstanding, I would like to recognize the
excellent job that our Executive Director, Charlotte Mihok does
for CAPM.
Everyone
have a safe and relaxing summer.
Respectfully
submitted,
Linda
Salvano, C.P.M.
