Dear Members,
 
I hope all is well with each of you and that you are all in good health.
 
It is with great pleasure that I am announcing Deborah Trudeau as the next Montreal Chapter President. Deborah's mandate will commence at the end of June 2008 and will be for a period of two and a half years ending December 2010. This will ensure continuity for the 2010 Montreal World Conference that will take place in October 2010.
 
As you will recall, the Montreal Executive mandated Micheline Bouchard to head up a succession committee composed of Nancy Cleman, Odette Basmaji, Louise Roy, Ghislaine Richard and Carol Fitzwilliam to select our next president. Their wisdom, contribution and selection was greatly appreciated and on behalf of all of you I would like to reiterate my thanks for a job well done.
 
Deborah brings to the Chapter a number of years of business experience, as well as, a presence in a number of IWF international conferences and in the Montreal Community. 
 
I am sure that Deborah can rely on your participation and your support during her mandate.
 
Kindest Regards,
 
Nermine E. H. Vermette
President - IWF Montreal Chapter
