With over 40,000 IAAP members worldwide, the members of the Calgary Chapter are a diverse group coming together from many industries committed to advancing the profession of administrators. The IAAP Calgary Chapter was formed in 1968. Monthly meetings are held during the second week of each month, September to June at the 35th Floor Conference Center of the International Hotel Suites Calgary, beginning at 5:30 pm. Meetings consist of dinner, networking, a brief business session and a one hour educational presentation. Non-members are more than welcome to attend any of our meetings. Please visit our website: www.iaap-calgary.org Welcome to the 2012-2013 IAAP year! I am incredibly excited about the coming year, both from a Chapter President's standpoint and that of a Calgary chapter member. We have some new faces on the executive board this year...and new faces bring new ideas, which benefit us all! Lucinda Sharlow, CAP-OM 2012 -2013 President Calgary Chapter
