Our 2012 Conference approved IT Committee Workbook and Guidelines is now posted on www.ca.org. We incurred no expenses and therefore came in under budget.

As our fellowship continues to grow, technologies continue to evolve and become a bigger part of our daily communications. Social networking continues to evolve and its use is becoming a more acceptable means of communication. Therefore this committee continues to serve our Fellowship by providing information and recommendations to help us evolve and utilize every available and new emerging technology in its best light.
As a new or continuing delegate, you will enjoy the fun time shared on the IT Committee. We welcome the technically challenged to be the expert who are interested in technology, or members who merely wish to express their opinion and want change. We welcome EVERYONE! Please consider serving on the IT Committee, where you will always feel like you made a difference.
In love and service, Michele D – WSITC Chair

Stu E: How can we approve a slate with only one candidate on it? Shouldn’t we have suspended the rules first?
Tony D: One moment Stu.. . . . This is what the TEC has presented to us and what we have voted on.
Tony D — H&I is next
