Call for Volunteers
The Tidewater Chapter welcomes
volunteers to fill officers, directors
and committee positions.
Please contact Ludvic Presto at
lpresto@portfoliorecovery.com if
you want to join our team.
A big item this month is the chapter voting for next
year’s Officers and incoming Board members. Please
be on the lookout for your Cvent notification. This is
your chance to help decide the future direction of our
Chapter. I believe the Nominations Committee has put
together an excellent slate of dedicated candidates that
will continue to serve our Chapter in the best interests
of our membership.
Additionally, we have some really exciting events
coming up. They are listed in detail on the
accompanying pages, but here’s a sneak peak at this
Spring’s offerings:
March – CAE & Directors Roundtable (lunch)
March – CIA Exam Review Course Part 3

We have tried to provide a wide array of choices. I
hope to see you at them experiencing some great
networking and training.
Sincerely,
Ludvic Presto
