Several items from the meeting agenda were tabled until today. I will not go into full detail as most of that will be discussed at Region meetings on Tuesday and the AGM on Wednesday. Even after a full day of meeting, the Board still made time for a some strategic planning led by our very own Region 12 member, IAWP First Vice President Margaret Shorter. I will provide you with some further insight on that tomorrow.
For me, today was very exciting. This morning, several members of TEAM WINNIPEG 2014 attended the Board of Directors/Trustee Meeting to present a bid to host the 52nd Annual Conference in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 2014.
Team Winnipeg 2014 waits in the wings to present their bid.
Team Winnipeg 2014 was a big hit with their very fashionable Canadian scarves.
Constable Andree Huberdeau speaks about the importance of French Language programming in the 2014 Bid.
Team Winnipeg responds to questions about their bid for 2014.At the end of the presentation, we were pleased to be informed that our bid had met the standards of policy 10 (IAWP Conference Policy) and so was approved to proceed for a vote at the Annual General Meeting. We hope that you will take some time before then to visit us at our booth during the conference trade show.
Well...another full day ended with wonderful time meeting and chatting with old and new friends at the first of several Lexington hospitality nights. Time for some sleep ....in anticipation of my one of my favorite IAWP events tomorrow...the annual Parade of Nations and Opening Ceremonies. I know it is going to be another great parade!
Good night from Lexington.
