Our appreciation is extended to Dr. William Liu and Richard Leite for their candidacy and willingness to serve PRMIA's global mission in the Americas.
We also express our thanks to Philip Merrill, who has served as a member of the PRMIA Board since 2002.
Our association is strengthened by member participation in the vote and their 'ownership' of the association. The next formal step in our governance of the association is the Annual Members' Survey, which you will receive in mid-November. We hope that you will take that opportunity to tell us how our Board and volunteer committees can best serve you and to further commit your support of PRMIA.
On Wednesday November 16th, 2005, our Regional Directors will elect the Executive Committee of the PRMIA Board, including the Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary/Treasurer.
