!!! NALIP-NY 2005 CHAPTER ELECTION  RESULTS !!!
 

The results were announced last night, Wednesday, October 27th, 2004  at the General Membership Meeting @ WNET, which was attended by a constituency  of 40.  Thirteen members of the NALIP/NY Executive Board & Committee  Chairs for 2005 were approved by the membership.

It has been a year and one half process since it all began at a March  2003 Organizational and Team-building Retreat, which stressed that NALIP/NY  had to restructure its governance and infrastructure. Two Ad-hoc Committees were created, "Governance & Infrastructure" then "Nominations &  Election" paved the way to formulating a formidable slate and candidates.  There is still one more Co-Chair position needed in the area of Communications,  Marketing & Community, but we are 98% there.

Congratulations to the NALIP/NY Executive Board and Committee Chairs and  all the best in developing a New York Chapter with greater visibility and impact within the production world.
