Iowa Contingency Planners
Letter from the Chairman

Happy 2008!! I hope you all enjoyed a blessed and relaxing time with family and friends this holiday season.

Once again, we experienced a successful year in 2007 with Tom Banse’s leadership and direction. We acquired 17 new members, held our first ever quarterly meeting in eastern Iowa and fulfilled our theme goal with a renewed understanding of recovery options between the public and private sector. Our theme for 2008 will be: “Keeping the Connection Open”, building on the successful 2007 theme “Making the Connection – Partnering for Performance”.

Mark your calendars! The 2008 ICP calendar is available on the website – highlighting quarterly meeting dates and the golf/conference date.

We are looking forward to your active participation in 2008 and anticipate another successful year to strengthen our emergency management and recovery procedure expertise.

Mary-Jo S. Lee – ICP Chairman 2008
