Message from the President

JWalters.jpgLots of changes are taking place in 2018, and we invite you to join us in the excitement!

First, take a look at our new website! You will note right away the new look and feel ... all part of IMA's desire to standardize the chapter websites throughout the country. You can still access it by going to http://canton.imanet.org or www.cantonima.org. We are still "stretching our wings" with the new site, so if you have any suggestions for content, please feel free to forward it to me at jwalters@CBIZ.com

If you would like to become a member, we welcome your involvement. We have an active group of business professionals, and our technical sessions and chapter activities offer great opportunities for networking, community involvement and CPE. If you would like to become a member, simply contact me or one of the Board members.

If you are an existing member, we are having another great year of technical sessions and chapter activities. Check out our upcoming sessions and be sure to register.

The Canton Chapter prides itself in having received numerous chapter awards and honors over the years, and we have a great group of dedicated Board members who make that happen year after year. If you are involved in community service beyond the IMA, please let us know. Not only do we want to know how our members are impacting the community, but it also counts toward the chapter competition. In addition, if you would like to join us on the Board, please let me or any Board member know.
