A little over a month ago I shared the state of our chapter and asked for help from our membership to fill some open positions. Despite being distracted by some truly lovely weather here in Los Angeles we got a fantastic response and I’m happy to be able to announce new additions to our board and some great progress on event planning.

Leslie Dodson will be joining us as VP, Social Media and Nick Duggan has agreed to join our board as VP, Communications. I’m excited about the talent and skills each of them bring to these roles; and you’ll learn more about them in upcoming messages. Until then please join me in welcoming them to our board. Several IABC Los Angeles members also wrote in to volunteer to assist with local events. We look forward to developing these opportunities and will announce them both in email and on our website.

This is great progress and a testament to the can-do spirit of our diverse membership. However, we can – and will – do more. We still have open board positions and would welcome anybody interested in volunteering in any capacity.
