President's Message

Alas, the IMC SoCal year is drawing to a close. We finished the 2006-2007 Chapter meeting series with a bang. Harald Weiss led a highly interactive case study based on consultant teaming models, a topic of direct interest to everyone in the room. Over the Ayres' delicious dinner we thanked the Officers, Chairs, and Board Members who have contributed their efforts so generously this year. Myer Sankary then updated us on the Principles of Persuasion with lots of new material and some very colorful examples. We wound up on a really high note with champagne for Susan Grimshaw's birthday.

Still to come is our final planning meeting on Saturday the 30th. All members are invited for breakfast at the Ayres, and to help set our direction for next year.

Orange County plans to carry the flag through the summer with its Area Breakfast Meetings.,/p> After that, see you in September!

Margaret Chock CMC, President
