2. Email asking for input regarding formation of an official ICC Region 11 Organization. A brief history was presented by Gerry George regarding the issue. In summary, the Colorado Chapter and CAPT will begin looking to see if there are any benefits to forming a regional chapter with ICC. While the current economic climate has limited the resources that ICC has to offer, this will change once the economy turns around and having a regional voice could benefit the chapters, including the possibility of getting additional support for an additional Chapter Benefit Day as well as play on a level playing field on the national level. Members are encouraged to discuss their thoughts with CAPT or CCICC Board Members. A response is requested by February 1st, 2010.
