Message from the President, Joel Owen

Greetings to one and all,

As I begin my reign as president of CARE I would first like to thank our former president, Greg Goater, for a job well done. CARE made new advancement under his leadership along with a very capable board, so to this I salute Greg and board.

While I’m giving salutations I would like to recognize AHRI (formerly ARI). If it were not for the vision, commitment and dedication of AHRI CARE would not exist and I for one am very grateful.
As for the IWS, there was more information than one can take in, in such a short time frame. All the presentations that I sat in on were very informative, current and relative. Most of the presentations are available on the CARE web site, as a member you should have already received your user name and password to access these presentations. If you are not a member it is easy, go to the membership link: (http://www.carehvacr.org/pdfs/Newcaremembershipform.pdf) and fill out membership application and mail with a check for $25 and you there.

The IWS for 2010 has not been set at the time of this letter however we will let you know as soon as the decision is made. For you that attended the workshop, you should have received a survey please take the time to fill out this survey and respond with comments and suggestions. This is your workshop, what is it that you need and want, what will make your job easier and better? For you who were not able to attend this year your comments and suggestions are important too, so let us hear from you as well.

We the members of the board are here for you, the educator, if you have questions or concerns please let us know.

It’s with great pride and honor that I look forward to serving the membership for the next two years, I’m here to serve.

Sincerely,

Joel Owen
