[AISdiscuss] RVP meeting & the 2014 AIS Convention
 

Hi John,
Sorry I have
been dealing with computer connectivity issues.....seems like
when the temp
goes above 90 this happens.  There are always a few RVPs who do
not attend due
to health or money issues.  Many regions do not give an
allowance to their
RVPs, or what they give would cover a few days in the
hotel, but nothing else.
And a few who do not know they are "required" to
attend the meeting. (Not that
we can give them a 'time out' if they don't
come!) Will keep you up to date
about the schedule.
Cheryl
