First In Flight Chapter

President's Message

January 2012

Suzanne King, First in Flight Carolinas AIIM

2012 is off to a great start! We are actively working to add new members and sponsors to our Chapter. Sponsors allow us to increase the number of networking opportunities while providing first class educational events. New members introduce new ideas and enthusiasm and help grow our networking and peer development base. One of the greatest benefits of AIIM membership is the exposure to Subject Matter Experts in every facet of the Information Management industry. Our diverse membership ensures we have access to the right people, with the right information, at the right time.

We are increasing the number of meetings this year and will have both Charlotte and Raleigh meetings over a two day period. This will maximize access to our featured speakers as well as better serve our Chapter members, prospective members and meeting sponsors. We are not able to produce these great chapter events without your continued commitment and attendance.

I encourage you, on behalf of our Board, to become involved in AIIM as both a professional member and possibly a Board member. We have several committees that could use your expertise. It only takes about an hour a month to make a difference. I also encourage you to invite your co-workers, customers, and friends with involvement in the IT industry to check out AIIM (www.aiim.org) and become members this year.

The AIIM professional certification program is an excellent way to increase your industry knowledge and gain certifications in the process. In this economy of uncertainty, adding to our skill sets is not a luxury, it’s a requirement. Certification program information is available on the website or you can contact me directly with any questions (kings@cintas.com). The code to use when signing up for a certification program is “First in Flight”.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Suzanne
