“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?” – Marianne Williamson Now is your time to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous! In addition to attending monthly chapter meetings for learning and networking opportunities, you can also make plans now to attend one (or all) of the following incredible events:
April 22: Fox Cities Chapter Administrative Professionals Week Event March 13-15: Technology Education Conference (TEC14) May 16-17: Wisconsin Division Annual Meeting (WDAM) (Page 3) July 26-30: Education Forum and Annual Meeting (EFAM)
You can continue to shine your light by tracking your Pathways to Excellence progress (Page 7) and volunteering to serve as a chapter officer for the 2014-2015 business year (Page 4). Our IAAP Wisconsin Division President, Lynne Woida, shares your enthusiasm and recently commented to your chapter officers: “you’ve got it rockin’ – keep up the great work!” At your service,
Annamarie Zimmerman, CAP-OM 2013-2014 President
If you’re… an established veteran looking for new skill sets and connections; new to the profession and looking for guidance; or anywhere in between, IAAP is there.

Nominations for 2014-2015 Fox Cities Chapter It is again time to think about nominations for the upcoming business year. Please consider being an officer for our chapter:
Are you looking to gain some leadership skills?
Are you willing to hold a leadership position to move our Chapter through the next business year?
Would you like to gain skills such as Team Building, Strategic Planning or Meeting Facilitation, maybe serving as President or Vice President would be for you. If you are looking to gain skills in Report Writing, Document Control or Event Coordination, serving as Secretary would help you achieve these goals. If you are looking to gain experience in Budget Preparation, Revenue Tracking, or Policy Administration then perhaps Treasurer would be a great fit for you. All interested members that would like serve next year as an officer, please contact Kristine Koss at:
[email protected].
