A Letter from our President
 | Carol Roleder
2011/2012 ISES LA President |
Hello, ISES Los Angeles! As we begin 2012, I am excited to announce the appointment of Gerry Rothschild as our new President-Elect. Formerly our VP of Membership, Gerry has proven to be a valuable asset to our chapter by continually working to make your membership experience the best it can be. Taking his place as VP of Membership is Nahchey Storer, a two-year member of the Membership Committee. Please be sure to introduce yourselves to them at our next monthly meeting! Mark Twain said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So...catch the trade winds in your sails." I can't think of a better way to begin a new year! If you've been considering joining ISES, now is the time to "catch those trade winds" and see how an ISES membership can get you where you want to be in 2012. Take advantage of our 25th Anniversary "50 for 25" Program, and let us show you how to make the most of your membership. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming programs! Carol Roleder 2011/2012 President
