Greetings ~firstname~,

This has been a Simply World Class year for many reasons. Some of the CAPS highlights to share are:

• 231 increase in National Membership
• 11 viable chartered chapters with Winnipeg chartered in June with 42 members (14 National).
• A brand new CAPS web-site that will answer speaking industry questions, allow you to register for membership and the convention on-line, as well as being placed in the top search engines to position CAPS as the "Voice of Canadian Speaking".
• And a stronger infrastructure to allow CAPS to grow to the next level.

Our Simply World Class convention, December 5 - 7th, in Vancouver is the talk of all CAPS. Attending will inspire you to reach new levels in your speaking career. Click here to view this year's convention brochure, loaded with the top speakers in the industry. Be sure to take advantage of the Early Bird discount by October 15th.

Greg Gerrie, convention chair and Jody Urquhart, co-chair say you won't want to miss it!

I personally extend an invitation to each and every one of the CAPS family to attend. See you in Vancouver!

Sincerely,

Valerie Cade Lee, CSP
Your 2002 CAPS National President
