Letter from the CPGR President

Letter from the CPGR President - Gina G. Taranto

(continued from home page)

From the national speakers, timely topics, exhibitors and the all-important networking opportunities, I know you’ll find the time and money well worth it to attend. Maybe you have already registered and taken advantage of the Early Bird rate, which ends this Friday, May 15th (that’s a hint to make sure to get your registration in before the price increases!).

In addition to plugging the Summer Symposium, I never want to miss the opportunity to thank our volunteers…and to get in a plug about becoming a volunteer. Our CPGR board and committee volunteers spend many hours making sure there is a highly qualified speaker at our luncheon, brown bag and technical series meetings, providing up-to-date and informative communications, ensuring our members and prospective members find value in a CPGR membership, overseeing the finances and expenses, creating one of the country’s premier gift planning conferences, etc.

The list goes on but without this help, CPGR would not be the organization that it is today. For those who are actively engaged and spending precious hours in their day on providing the best possible resources for our members, I want to say thank you for giving and making a difference. For those of you who haven’t been involved and would like to dedicate some of your time to providing value to our CPGR members, please contact the CPGR office. There is a committee ready for your time and talents.

I hope to see you at the Summer Symposium, and don’t forget to check out the remaining line-up of CPGR programs for 2009!

Best,

Gina G. Taranto '93
