President's Message

I can't think of many things that are more magical than when the leaves change colors in the fall. It makes the hustle and bustle of prepping for the holidays and the new year a lot more enjoyable. Personally, it is a reminder to slow down and appreciate the beauty in life. Before all of the leaves fall, I challenge you to take a stroll outside to gaze at the beautiful leaf colors and heck—go jump in the leaves like you did as a kid!

I'm excited to report that IABC Harrisburg had an extremely successful Member Month in October. We had four new members and four renewed members. Kudos to our VP of Membership, Sandy Kern for another fabulous job in recruiting and retaining!

As we prepare for the new year, I wanted to share with you the slated 2019 Board of Directors:

Julie Henderson
Treasurer

Roxanne Lewis
President

Kate Sherman
VP of Professional Development

If you have any comments or would like to join the board, please contact me at [email protected]. We have vacancies in Communications, Membership and Professional Development and would welcome anyone that is willing to help, whether as a board member or as a volunteer in a smaller capacity. This is Your Chapter. Make it What You Want.

I hope to see you next week at our November dinner and program! Be sue to register if you haven't done so already.

Roxanne Lewis
IABC Harrisburg President
