Chapter leaders bonded by IABC
Many chapter leaders don't realize that IABC provides bonding policy coverage for U.S. and Canadian chapters and regions. Effective Jan. 1, 2006, it covers $50,000 with a $5,000 deductible, which is paid by the chapter or region incurring the loss. The policy enhances each chapter's internal controls and eliminates the need for chapter and region treasurers and presidents to be bonded. This and more tips can be found in the IABC Chapter/Region Finance Guide.
IABC Membership Management Area makes e-mailing chapters easier
Chapter leaders can now personalize e-mails to chapter members and e-mail hot prospects and lapsed members using the "E-mail My Chapter" feature on MMA. Go to www.iabc.com/mma to use these features.
