Great Lakes Region Leaders


You are the new Chapter leaders of the Great Lakes Region and GLR Board of Directors.  You are also members of a great organization that only thrives through involvement of its knowledgeable members. It is working together that we all benefit. I recommend and urge many of you register and attend the Great Lakes Region/North Central B-Region Conference in Chicago on May 7-9, 2015.  It is a short time away and we need to know if you are coming. 

Lane Beougher, Institute President Elect will be there and this presents a great opportunity to meet with him, discuss your concerns and hear what is new with the Institute. 

Remember, this Conference is a leadership conference for all of you as you start your new year.  In addition, it is an opportunity to make and strengthen friendships and professional connections throughout the Great Lakes Region.

 I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones!
