To all of our Remarkable CWM Division Members,
The last few months have really shown what great ―Leaps‖ our chapters, and you as members, have been taking in making IAAP the most ―Remarkable‖ organizations around.
It is so rewarding to see our chapter presidents growing in their leadership skills and sharing that knowledge with their members.
Chapter of Excellence criteria has been achieved, CAP exams have taken place with members anxiously awaiting their results, membership events have been held by several of our chapters with new members recruited, and many great educational programs have been hosted by our chapters and the CWM division.

Should I run for a Colorado - Wyoming - Montana Division Office?
This question may have either been brought to you or you may have considered it. Here are some things to consider. What offices have I served on in my Chapter? What qualifications can I bring to the board as an asset? The major question you want to ask of yourself, is this something I believe I can do? Don’t underestimate yourself! Step outside of your comfort zone and step up to that plate! How do you grow professionally? You train, you learn and develop new skills. This is part of being a board member! It is just a new opportunity! Give yourself a chance.
Also, if you know of someone who would be a great board member, maybe this is the time to talk with them. Some people don’t know they have it in them until they are asked or someone else tells them!
IAAP allows for growth and training opportunities for members in many different ways. This is only one. Check the CWM Handbook for qualifications and see what you might qualify for. Where do you stand? Jump in! Take the bull by the horns and grow! You can add it to your resume and include it on your Member of Excellence form!
We Need You! Please submit your forms by February 29, 2012 – the LUCKY Extra Day of the Year!

Ten Good Reasons to Attend Chapter Functions? Even When You Might Have Something Else to Do
- You are important to the chapter; your absence will be felt.
- It's vital to support your teammates. You might need them to support your ventures in the future.
- You never know when and where opportunity will be knocking. Don't ever assume, "There's nothing in this for me." You'll be wrong more often than you'll be right.
- Like weddings and funerals, there are times when your presence is essential for relationship building. It's almost guaranteed you will be glad you made the effort!
- You'll never convince potential members of the value of IAAP membership if your own chapter members don't value IAAP
 activities.
- Like nuclear energy, the maximum production of energy requires a certain critical mass. We owe it to our fellow members to participate.
- Joining IAAP at the chapter level is a commitment to the group. The more chapter members you have who show this commitment, the less chance any one person will be shouldering an unfair or unreasonable burden of this involvement.
- If your employer is supporting your membership, you owe it to him/her to get a full return on the investment. Your employer will see the difference when you're active and involved.
- Even the same seminar topic or chapter committee project will be "new" when presented with another viewpoint or while working with a different team. Also, you may be primed for a new epiphany because of your new life experiences or enhanced receptivity.
- If the chapter event or meeting is not fun or beneficial, why is your chapter doing it anyway? Voice your concerns and give good suggestions before the chapter is committed to a course of action. Create? don't just critique.
