From the Editor's Desk
Were you in Las Vegas for the AIM Expo? I know
that I saw and
talked to some of you, but for those that didn't make
it, you missed a great show and conference. If you got
bored walking the Expo floor, there was always the miles
of booths at Pack Expo just across the road. My feet are
still sore!
If you have an interest in any
of these areas, you need to get involved. Both
committees have regular phone and face to face meetings.
If you are an AIM member then simply call AIM to find
out how to get involved. If you are not an AIM member,
what are you waiting for? Visit
http://www.aimglobal.org/joinaim/ for more information.
