    Kristina was a Forest City Chapter member a couple years ago and decided to rejoin. She enjoyed meeting and interacting with the wonderful professionals in the Chapter. Kristina feels it is an excellent organization and helps to sharpen skills.

She enjoys fitness and one of her favorite classes is Zumba, an exhilarating, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-class that moves millions of people towards joy and health. Kristina attends Zumba classes 4 days a week! She also enjoys participating in various fund raising events and community work which contributes back to our communities such as: supporting the SPCA Northeast Ohio Animal Shelter (No Kill Shelter), Center for Families and Children, Adopt-a-Child, Ronald McDonald House, Harvest for Hunger, United Way Events and the Susan G.

    Announcements

    Membership Cards

    Emily Allen posted the following in the 2012-2013 Division Presidents e-Group:

    Starting in January 2013, IAAP is reinstating the membership card for new and renewing members. We are also sending all new members (via mail) a hard copy new member packet in addition to sending them the link for the online new member kit.

    Here's how it works:
    Starting in January, new and renewing members will receive a membership card. New members will also receive a mailing with the current edition of OfficePro, a member brochure, a certification brochure and (when applicable) a flier with current event information.

    When members renew throughout the year, they will receive a membership card with their renewal receipt.

    Once you receive your membership card, hold onto it. Replacement cards will cost $15. We are unable to issue cards to renewing members before your next anniversary renewal date.

    As a reminder IAAP has merged two causes under one umbrella.

    Retirement Trust Foundation and Research and Educational Foundation are being merged into one non-profit organization: The Foundation of IAAP:
    The Foundation of IAAP will support the profession in the same way the RTF and R&E foundations do currently:
    *offer education http://www.iaap-hq.org/events
    *research
    *training to the administrative professional community http://www.iaaphq.
    org/events/schedule/education-forum-annual-meeting-efam
    *community based initiatives inclusive of the retirement housing at Vista Grande
    http://www.iaap-rtf.org/programs/index.html

    Through the donations of IAAP members and other stakeholders in IAAP, such as our valued corporate partners, we will continue to support admins now and into the future.
