KCMPI Board of Directors Nominations

Print this article

It seems like we just completed the longest election for President of the United States and now I'm asking you to consider the KCMPI nominations process for the upcoming 2009-2010 year. One thing I can promise and deliver on is that KCMPI's "election" process will only be a four-month process.

I would like to ask each of you to truly consider a role on KCMPI's Board of Directors. It is a rewarding experience that will build your leadership skills and looks GREAT on a resume.

Also consider the following -

Volunteerism is the willingness of people to work on behalf of others without being motivated by direct financial or material gain.

There are two major benefits of volunteerism:

1. Economic: activities undertaken by volunteers would otherwise have to be funded by the chapter, so volunteering adds to the overall business/economic output of the chapter and reduces the burden on the chapter's expenses
2. Social: volunteering helps to build a more cohesive community, fostering greater trust in the membership; it helps to develop norms of solidarity in our industry and reciprocity that are essential to a stable community

On Dec. 1 and 15, every member received an email on "Call for Nominations," with a deadline to nominate yourself or a peer by Dec. 21. Please nominate a deserving member or yourself, you won't regret it. The final slate of candidates will be an email vote by the membership in March of 2009.

If you have any questions regarding the nominations process or just want to talk, feel free to either call me at 816-891-6600 extension 2223 or email me at ihafkemeyer@iaap-hq.org.

 With sincere appreciation,

Inge Hafkemeyer, CMM

KCMPI, Past President
