PRESIDENTS ALL -- Leaders of the Wisconsin CPM Program and Society, American Academy of Certified Public Managers and the National CPM Consortium gathered following the May 13th graduation ceremony of the Wisconsin CPM Program held in the Assembly Chamber at the Wisconsin State House in Madison. From left are Bill Herman, AACPM President-elect; Robbi Dreifuerst, Associate Director of the Wisconsin CPM Program and Chair of the National CPM Consortium; Jeff Roemer, President-elect of the Wisconsin Society of CPM; and Ronald Buchholz, AACPM Past President. Dreifuerst was presented with an Honorary CPM Certificate during the graduation ceremony in recognition of her dedication and support for the CPM program in Wisconsin and nationally.

In May, Howard Rasmussen of Florida regretfully resigned as Vice-Chair of the National CPM Consortium.

The Consortium Constitution states that, in the event of a vacancy in any office, the Executive Council shall appoint a replacement. During the last week of May, I nominated Imelda Roberts of the Metro Washington Council of Governments, to the Executive Council for its approval to fill the vacancy.

Imelda has been an At-Large member of the Executive Council and had currently been serving as Consortium Secretary.

By majority vote, the Council has appointed Imelda Roberts as Vice-Chair for the remainder of the 2004-2005 operating year. Imelda has also graciously agreed to continue to serve as Secretary for the 2005 Annual Meeting as well.

Please join me in welcoming Imelda as our new Vice Chair. I'm very grateful for her willingness to step up to these added responsibilities on the Consortium Executive Council.

Happy summer to all of you. Looking forward to seeing you in New Hampshire in the Fall.
