Letter from the President
INIAI Members:
It is my honor and privilege to serve as the 2018 president of the INIAI. I will first offer congratulations to 2017 president Kacie Proffitt and the members of the 2017 board for putting on a great conference in Wabash Indiana this past September. Both the quality of the speakers and the venue were top-notch and leave great expectations for 2018. I believe our 2018 board is up to the task, that board consists of the following dedicated individuals; Vice President: Rod Vawter, Secretary/Treasurer: Sean Matusko, Board Chair: Kacie Proffitt, Board Member: Lorinda Gibbs, Board Member: Brett St. Clair, Board Member: Danny Williams, Board Member: Dale Diefenderfer, Board Member: Linda Bailey, Webmaster/Newsletter Editors: Allyson Connell and Stephanie Snodgrass. Thank you to all the board members for volunteering your time and talents. If you have never considered serving or have considered but haven’t made the leap, do it! It’s a rewarding experience to be a part of planning these great educational conferences for our members.
Your board has already met twice and made good progress toward our 2018 conference. I am pleased to announce that we will be bringing the conference back to Indy this year. The 2018 conference will be Wednesday-Friday again, September 19th, 20th and 21st. The location will be The Big Red Corporate Training Facility at 5445 south East Street. For those of you from out of town I am working on securing a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn at 5151 S. East St. just a couple blocks North of our venue. Our status as a non-profit and the generosity of the owners allowed us to get this venue at a substantial savings over a hotel conference room without sacrificing anything in terms of quality of the space. We will use the savings to bring you great speakers, great food and to refill our association’s coffers for next year. Your board members are already working hard on securing speakers and vendors for September. As always, if you have any suggestions or ideas, or want to give a talk yourself please let me or any other board member know, we are here for you.
Until next time, remember the importance of the work you all do, often with little recognition or accolade. If you ever have a doubt, then try to imagine one day in this nation without the people doing what you do and the chaos that would ensue. Thank you all for your dedicated service.
Daniel C. Recker, CLPE
