To Whom it may concern:
My name is Jennie R. and I was just voted on as Chair for NIAVA (Northeast Indiana Association for Volunteer Administrators) We hold bi-monthly meetings related to the similiar topics of your meetings. I didn’t know if we could collaborate on meetings to help increase both of our attendances. I also do not know who is in charge of these meetings but would love to sit down and discuss topics that we could collaborate on.
Please contact so we can talk, even to just suggest ideas, I know NIAVA has been in place for years but I have recently just joined a year ago. Thank you

How do I join this group in the Fort Wayne area? When is the next meeting? Andrew H. posted something to me on Facebook for November but I couldn’t attend on that date.
