As we approach the New Year we have a lot of growing to do.

Please continue to support the new Board, I know they will do their best to keep us informed and up to date with Technology and new ways of doing Business.

Dear Colleagues,
Oh my goodness, 2010 is here! Already we are one decade into this 21st century. Where does the time go?

First of all, I would like to give a special thank you to Marci Coffey L.E., Marlyn Palmquist, L.E., and C.P.E. and Micheline Foorman, L.E. for volunteering to be nominated for election to a two year term to EAC Southern Chapter Board of Directors. I applaud them for volunteering again after having served approximately one year on their appointed positions. Also, with appreciation I welcome newly elected Treasurer Ivonne Pittman, L.E. Moreover, thank you for reelecting me as President for a 3rd term.

Secondly, on a noteworthy point, according to the EAC Bylaws on page 10, Section 3, under Term of Office it states that "All elected chapter officers and appointed chapter officers shall hold office for a term of two (2) years or until their successors are duly qualified and elected. No elective office shall be held by the same member for more than two (2) consecutive terms." I bring this to the membership’s attention because the other officers on the Southern Chapter board thought they were ready not ready or duly qualified to commit to the candidacy of President. I have hopes that by the time this term is complete we will have several prepared volunteers.

Thirdly, on behalf of the E.A.C. Southern Chapter I want to express our appreciation to Ron Davis, Director of American Institute of Education, for being generous in starting a scholarship program for students. We also commended him for having the American Institute of Education pay the first year EAC and AEA membership dues for each graduate.

Finally, I would like to remind you that April is Electrology Awareness month. I am available if you would like help in preparing for a health expo, or any other promotional event. Marci has worked very hard in putting together a terrific meeting for February 28th at a very economical price and I look forward to seeing you there at this meeting.

In closing, may this new decade bring your long term goals into fruition and may you and your loved ones have a healthy, prosperous and Happy New Year.

Sincerely yours,
Yvette Becerra, L.E., C.P.E.
E.A.C. President, Southern Chapter
