Fairleigh Dickinson University Announces First IABC Student Chapter in NJ

Special thanks to Dr. Radford and Alexis Piekarsky


A message from our chapter's president:

Hello everyone!!

First off, I wanted to thank everyone who came to the meeting last week. For those who were unable to attend it looks like the first IABC Student Chapter in New Jersey is a go!! I am very excited to get this underway and I look forward to working with all of you throughout the process.

Where do we go from here? A second meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 2, 2006 at 5:00pm in Rice Lounge which is in NAB. At this meeting we will hold board elections. Please send me an email as soon as possible letting me know what position you are interested in. I am attaching the list of positions and descriptions, but there are two missing - Treasurer (will be the liaison between the NJIABC and the Student Chapter) and BA/MA Liaison (Someone who is currently enrolled in the BA/MA program). At the meeting you should be prepared to give a short speech on why you should be elected into the position you are running for and what you will bring to the chapter.

Please keep in mind that in order to vote you must have handed in, to me, your application, proof of student and check. There are directions on the application as well so make sure to read them. You can give your documents to me in class, drop them off in 34M or put them in Dr. Radford's mailbox located in the secretary's office. You can get a copy of the application from me or download it from the IABC website by going to http://www.iabc.com/about/membership/pdf/STUAPP.pdf

I thank you all for your help in getting this chapter underway.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, etc.

I look forward to speaking with you all soon and seeing you on Tuesday, MAY 2, 2006 at 5:00pm!

Alexis Piekarsky
NJIABC Chapter President
