President's Message	return to top
We had a great meeting in March for Past President’s night. Tony Ling and Tom Clark from Fuji films did a wonderful presentation. Fuji film is a diversified company and I myself like their products. Our conferences are coming along great. We’ve already had commitments from Regions Bank and ACCIS to sponsor some of the event. Some of the other possible sponsors we’ve talked with are DeltaCom, FUJIFILM and Computer Associates. I hope all of you are talking it up because it is going to be one of the best. We need all of our members’ support at this time. Ask your employers, friends, individuals with their own businesses. Please invite them to our meeting on April 26, 2005. They do not have to make a commitment that night, just come and hear more about it. On April 5, 2005 I visited the AITP chapter at UAH. Sheryl Gother and the board are doing a good job and they’ve had several interesting speakers. There is a big job market in Huntsville and Sheryl passes along the job openings she receives. UAB will be holding their last meeting for the season on April 22, 2005. Maurice Myers will be one of the speakers. Thank you for supporting AITP in this year of growth. See you at the meeting. Chapter President
