Our keynote speaker is Halaine Guidry-DeWerff MBA, CSP of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Halaine will share with us which tools are necessaru to take along our "IAAP� Journey."

An Award-winning presenter for over 17 years, Halaine has earned the coveted Certified Speaking Professional designation through the National Speakers Association. She is the third person from Louisiana to receive this prestigious certification and one of 9% of all speakers in the world. She has spoken extensively in over 40 states and several Canadian provinces.

June 6 has been chosen for the Bartlesville Chapter to host a day of seminars featuring Kristine Sexter of WorkWise Productions & Kristine Sexter.com. Our afternoon seminar is entitled "How to Work with Jerks, Angels, and Prima Donnas." The evening seminar is entitled "Extreme Makeover: Pump Up Your Professional Presence." Kristine has devoted over 19 years to studying success and professional commitment. While Kristine's programs are routinely deemed "phenomenally memorable", leaders, managers, educators, and success-oriented people continue to extol Ms. Sexter's incredible ability to provide measurably effective content and solutions for her clients and audiences.

Additionally, she is renowned for her energy, enthusiasm and for occasionally incorporating a 'wild' approach to employability and professional growth.

Ms. Sexter is a professional speaker, consultant, and columnist and is the author of six books, including The Top 50 Low and No Cost Employee Retention Strategies.

Scroll down to learn more about our chapter and President McMillin's incentives.

Our chapter utilizes the tools and opportunities provided by the A/O Division and the International Headquarters to keep our members up to date with the latest information available for chapter, personal, and career advancement.

Bartlesville Chapter is working toward educating our members along with the community by providing monthly 45-minute educational programs on the first Tuesday of each month (excluding July) and handling business at regular monthly meetings held on the last Tuesday of each month. Currently our membership includes personnel from ConocoPhillips, The Voice of the Martyrs, Dewey City Offices, and a retired member.

President Jodi McMillin's platform for the 2007-2008 year remains "Be A Member - Get A Member." We are providing great programs with valuable information to promote continuing education for our members and visitors. Visitors are encouraged to become members to reap the benefits that are available through membership in this educational association.

Along with providing "Jodi's Gems" in the newsletter, President McMillin will be sharing the Gems in the form of playing cards with soft skills, motivational tips or technical tips. Each member has the opportunity to receive at least 19 cards. The president's incentive for this year will be a gift with at least a $100 value to the member who attends the greatest number of events (includes business meetings, educational meetings, seminars). If a member travels to away IAAP events that member will receive double cards. Triple cards will be given to any member who recruits a new member to our Chapter. President McMillin will provide a way to determine the winner in case of a tie.

A second place prize of at least $50 will be given to the member who has the best poker hand from her best five cards of the set they earn.
