A Special Thank You to Our Education Committee

A few weeks ago we mentioned that we often take the time to thank the association's officers and our Board of Directors for everything they do, but forget to thank those persons who really make things happen for DPHA - our committees and their chairpersons. The committees are the ones where truly, "the rubber meets the road" - they do the real work that makes our association grow, refine current programs and develop new ones that help deliver more ROI to our membership. These committees meet by conference call monthly (usually lasting 30 to 60 minutes in length) and in reality, help drive the success of DPHA. So now, we would like to take a moment to acknowledge all those folks who work so diligently, and usually without any fanfare or praise, on our Education Committee.

Thank you so much to everyone on the Education Committee for your service and contributions to not only DPHA, but the industry as a whole.

Next week we will feature the Marketing Committee, but if you are interested in serving on any of our committees (Awards, Education, Marketing or Program & Showcase), please contact Rebekah Covay. And don't worry about signing up but not being able to make all of the committee conference calls - attendance is mandatory for staff only (Rebekah Covay and JIm Babbitt) - we are a volunteer association, after all. Here's your chance to not only network with more industry professionals, but help to make a difference!
