Going to Chicago? Invitation to Region Activities--

Region Manager Sue Lord Invites You to Region Meetings

If you are attending the 50th Annual ARMA International Conference in Chicago this month, consider joining with other Great Northwest Region people at any of the following events:

Saturday, Sept 17, 12:30-1:00 - GNW REGION MEETING in the Hyatt Hotel - 3rd floor. A short time to meet in person and catch up on a few Region things - but mostly to get to know one another...

Following this Region Meeting will be "Chapter Leadership Day," which will take up pretty much the entire afternoon. It should have great information for Board members and other chapter leaders. The schedule includes break-out workshops, information on marketing your chapter and member recruitment, as well as many other presentations.

This is the event that we are asked to provide "door prizes" for fun giveaways throughout the afternoon. You may receive a chapter pin, hat, t-shirt, something representative of one of the Region's localities, vendor trinkets, etc., donated to the event by other chapters.

Monday, Sept 19 no-host REGION LUNCHEON - Right now, it looks like Monday, September 19th from Noon until 1:30 pm may work for us. Sue Lord will get to Chicago early, and will locate a restaurant at Navy Pier - there are several to choose from - that can accomodate our group. She will do her best to choose one with a somewhat varied menu and affordable pricing. If attending the Conference, look for a posting and sign-up sheet near the Registration area with pertinent information about the Great Northwest Region Luncheon.

Last year, we had a terrific, fun, crowd in Long Beach. Sue hopes to meet many of our Region's attendees again this year in Chicago!

NOTE: Among our chapter's members who are going to Chicago are Susan Priebe (Vice President), Andrea Bettger (Secretary), and Dean Koga (Past President). If you are also attending, contact any one of these three -- they will be glad to keep you informed about Region sponsored activities.
