Chapter Members Corner: July 2007 Archives

Lorraine, VP membership of HKICC told me that she was amazed of how much IAC has further enhanced her membership benefits in July. Lorraine has put up valuable points to the HKICC management committee for reference. Lorraine herself, particularliy feels interest in the access to a “members only” feature in the Voice, including an expanded “Certifier’s Corner”, where the certifiers will offer valuable insight and advice for the certification process.

(Interesting to note)

1. Changes included as of January 2007:

• Annual membership dues of $129.00
