Hello IACAC membership,
Thank you to our existing members from 2013 who renewed their membership this year and welcome to our new members. As many people have learned over these first two months of 2014, IACAC is making changes in an attempt to alter the direction the organization was heading and return to our roots as an Association serving the needs of the air cargo community.
What we have done thus far is premiered a more interactive and current web site. The board selected Mr. Scott Case of Position : Global in January to create and maintain the new site. We launched the site at our February luncheon and have received nothing but positive feedback from the membership. If you had not had a chance to view the new site, please do so at www.iacac.com. We also welcome any feedback.
During our last luncheon, it was brought to our attention by the membership that some people were not happy with the discontinuing of The Pallet. I did want to clarify to why this was done. The Pallet was supposed to be a publication that dealt with timely information relevant to our industry and issues. Over time and due to lack of focus on what was important to IACAC and its members, it became more of a cluster of advertising that wasn’t specifically about our industry's issues. What we have done after much consideration is to bring back The Pallet, but with more timely information and a narrowed scope. The Pallet will also include a monthly President’s letter which is also posted here on the site keeping the membership apprised of what the board has been discussing as well as any new changes that have been made.
My goal this year as President of IACAC is to bring back the core values and principles that this organization was founded on and increase membership and support from local airlines. I’m looking forward to seeing new and old faces at our upcoming events. Our next event will be March Madness on March 20th at the Wyndham Garden Inn, 2550 Landmeier Rd., Elk Grove Village. You can RSVP on our Facebook page. I look forward to seeing each and every one of you there.
