Welcome to the New York-Ontario Regional Council web site. We hope the member chapters will use the website as a vehicle to keep in touch with each other and keep us all up to date on the events of the member chapters.
Even though we all have various time constraints that may keep us from the council meetings, we are hoping that all chapter officers will make an effort to attend at least one council meeting a year. We have 5 meetings spread throughout the year at various locations including a conference call during winter. It is always worthwhile to get together with other IMA members to discuss chapter needs and activities, career advancement and development, general problem solving and keeping the member chapters on track.
I'd like to thank all members of the Chapters within the area the Council covers for their continued support of the organization and the communities they serve. Without you and the service you provide, the organization would not be where it is today; nor would it have existed for 100 years.. All of which began in our neck of the woods, Buffalo, New York. In addition to the support the IMA receives at the chapter level, I'd like to give a special thanks to those who provide leadership at the Council level. Your leadership, guidance, friendship and everything else you provide is invaluable and I want to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude.
I can't reiterate the point made by predecessor Karen Pappalardo enough. Your comments and suggestions are welcome and serve to help us move forward in a positive direction. Please contact me at anytime with your feedback at sterit1977@gmail.com.
