It’s July 2008, my term as International President ended in June. Now what? What’s going to change? After five years of serving as Region III RVP, International Secretary, International Vice President, International President Elect and International President, I was not sure.
I realized – not much. I had made the decision when I first wanted to serve the membership, I would remain as involved and active as possible when my leadership roles ended.
The biggest change I noticed was the drastic reduction in daily emails and phone calls. Other than that, I stayed ALL IN, serving on and chairing committees. I continued to attend council meetings, regional conferences and of course, International Conventions.
The deep friendships developed all over the country, plus the desire to help whenever and wherever possible pushed me to remain active helping to ensure this association remained relative and vibrant. This means the world to me.
I look forward to continuing to give back as long as I am needed/wanted and am physically able to do so. IAIP has and will continue to be a major portion of my life – so, for me, there is NO life without IAIP!
