Our thoughts are with the people of Haiti and aid workers who are helping those affected by the recent earthquake.

Our Chapter is very proud to once again host the second edition of Take a Leap… from Good to Great. This year’s conference focuses on topics to help you Lead the Way in your organization. Join us Friday, February 26^th from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sheraton Hotel for a full day of leading-edge professional development sessions.

It’s time to start thinking about your submission to the annual CPRS Awards of Excellence. There are many different categories for you to consider so start thinking about a project to enter.  Entries must be submitted by March 31^st, 2010.
