President's Message
President -- Karol Pokley, CAVS |
 Your new MCDVS Board met recently for the annual board retreat. Some individuals assumed a different position on the board, while others stepped onto the board for the first time.
An important outcome of our retreat was establishing the following overall goals for '09-'10:
- To develop a scholarship program to offset expenses for conference attendance.
- To market the expertise of our own MCDVS members for outreach, increasing membership, and increasing attendance at regional meetings.
- To research benchmarking on a national level to compare ourselves with other states.
- To establish our own MCDVS group email address.
I look forward to working with our enthusiastic board to accomplish these goals. Stay tuned as I continue to update you on our progress! |
