Dear Region VIII Members:

The Godmothers did not disappoint:  It was an offer we couldn’t refuse……. What a great conference in Fabulous Las Vegas!  Not only did we feel lucky, we had the opportunity to reconnect with our  IAIP family members, and share this time to network, enhance our skills and celebrate. 

We had the honor of having our National President-Elect, Jane Densch, in attendance.  We also enjoyed some special distinguished guests:  Joi Wilson, immediate Past National President, Jenelle Duffy, Past National President, our very own Cheryl Krier, Past National President and Past RVP, A. Marie Yarbor.

An added bonus was our keynote speaker, Tom Crawford.  Always  a tremendous support to IAIP, Mr. Crawford donated two registrations to National Convention.  The lucky winners were Sean McCormick of the San Francisco Chapter of NAIW and Bruce Quinn, of the Las Vegas Insurance Professionals.

We celebrated with the Perils of Pin City Bowling Tournament, the highlights of which had to be the great shirts and creative team names.  Many guests at the closing banquet strutted Swanky Speakeasy style, which made for extra fun.

The CWC Competition is always a highpoint of our conference. We will be well represented at National Convention by a stellar contender, Mariah Williams, from the Honolulu Association of Insurance Professionals.

During the business sessions, your delegates declared that our members did not wish to have the motions regarding the dues structure and one-member/one-vote brought forward at the National Convention in June.  Your delegates also elected Katharine Nohr, JD, of the Honolulu Association of Insurance Professionals, as your RVP-Elect.

There is still time to register for National – the Early Bird registration has been extended.  There is also an early membership renewal offer.  Check out the IAIP website for these offers.

 I am so very honored and humbled to serve the distinguished members of Region VIII.  Many thanks to the Las Vegas Insurance Professionals for hosting the Region VIII Conference.  Congratulations to all the award winners and to Katharine Nohr, RVP Elect.  Let’s keep writing our chapters in IAIP history!

 

In Fellowship,
