| Ghery Pettit, EMCS Chapters Coordinator,
calls the annual Chapter Chair Luncheon to order and presents
the agenda. Included on the agenda was a discussion of the
“Angel” program. Did you know the “Angel”
program provides funds to Chapters? These can be used for
the purchase an LCD projector, to pay for a special speaker’s
travel costs, etc. Mr. Pettit encouraged Chapter Chairs to
contact their “Angel” to inquire further about this
EMCS sponsored program. Angels are identified in the EMCS
Directory. |
