Hello CSDIAI members!

I am looking forward to working with you this year as your CSDIAI President, and as a fellow member. I am still working on committee assignments, and appreciate assistance from anyone who would like to become more involved in our association, and serve on a committee. It truly is beneficial to get to know how our association works, to get to know and network with your fellow members, and to be a part of the future of our group. This is your association, and serving on a committee is a great way to have an influence on maintaining professionalism, and making changes for the better and good of our group. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested, or with any suggestions, ideas, or comments you would like to make. Also, if you have any ideas for training or speakers that you would like to have presented in Napa in 2011, please feel free to contact Seminar Speakers Chairperson Darrell Klasey.

At this difficult time of budgetary challenges, it is still very important to keep abreast of new training and technologies. I commend all of you for maintaining your knowledge base, and training for your future. This is a good time to encourage your fellow professionals to become members, and to support continued growth by receiving the Digest, and attending great training and information gathering from exhibitors on new technologies and equipment!

Remember to check our website frequently for 2011 conference updates! My thanks and appreciation goes out to our webmaster, Steve Tillmann, who works so diligently on maintaining this website for our benefit!

I look forward to seeing all of you in Napa, in May of 2011!
