AGA Orlando Chapter Formation Meeting
Sunday, July 10, 2005
11 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Do you live in the Greater Orlando vicinity and are frustrated by the lack of an AGA chapter in the area? We have setup this meeting to bring folks together to talk about setting up a new chapter to service the needs of members who live in Orlando.

For those of you who have had the experience of creating a new chapter know that it is a rewarding endeavor, but that it requires a dedicated group of members who are willing to put their volunteer time and energy together to make it happen.

Chapters conduct outstanding events that offer continuing professional education (CPE), offer networking and leadership opportunities, rewarding community service activities, monthly chapter newsletters, as well as social events.
