Your President was thrilled to get to attend the 2017 National FFA Convention, serving as a judge for the parliamentary procedure AND the conduct of meeting events. AIP members Daniel Foster and Al Gage, respectively, serve as the Superintendents of those events. AIP had a heavy presence at the parliamentary procedure event. Judges included AIP members Jim Connors, Kay Crews, Will Fett, Roger Hanshaw, and Daniel Ivey-Soto. The final judging panel consisted of all AIP members: Roger Hanshaw, Will Fett, and I had a difficult time with four stellar teams to choose from! Additionally, AIP member Barry Glazer served as the parliamentarian for the FFA business meetings, and Ann Guiberson served as a judge for the Conduct of Meeting events. In something new, the following AIP members agreed to review team answers to mini-option problems from their homes, sending the results back via email: Kay Crews, Will Fett, Roger Hanshaw, Richard Hayes, Maurice Henderson, Julie Palm, Mary Remson, and Jeanette Williams. Thank you to all for your assistance. We also celebrated a new credential: Atul Kapur was awarded his CP credential. Congratulations, Atul! In an effort to increase the ranks of new CPs, a “Boot Camp”
