As always, this meeting qualifies for 2 hours of CPE but you don't need CPE to get tremendous value from the meeting. 

Register today at http://SanAntonio.IMAnet.org!  

NOTE: IMA has rolled out a new meeting platform. So the registration screen will look different than in the past but there are many great improvements – including same day, self service CPE certificates!

We will once again be holding a Student Member Virtual Internship Fair.

If you are a student, please complete and return the attached 1 page personal profile slide and the IMA info release form no later than Wednesday, February 10^th to: SanAntonioIMA@gmail.com.

Also attached, please find our 2nd ever newsletter.  We issued it on January 1^st, but many people have been added to our member rolls and friends of the chapter email blast since then. We expect to send out another edition on or about April 1^st.

MANY thanks to new Student Member Hope Harrell for her fantastic work to make this a reality.  It is packed with great information about what happened last year and what lies ahead.  Share it with colleagues and prospective members.

As always, if you have any questions, please contact the chapter at SanAntonioIMA@gmail.com.
