As I end my second term as Chapter President and get ready to turn the reigns over to Ken Raikowski I want to take a minute and thank the Board and Committee Chairs for all their hard work and dedication they committed to the Chapter. Time is the most valuable thing we can give to anyone or anything and I appreciate all you have done to make the past four years very successful. We have increased membership, having won the small chapter membership award twice and increased average attendance at the monthly meetings, no small task in these tough economic times. We now have a CSI Student Affiliate and the chapter remains financially healthy. All these items not achieved alone, but through a collective team effort working together for a cause we believe in – the mission of CSI. Thank you all for helping grow and improve the Long Island Chapter.
