Last Friday's Annual Meeting and Election FANTASTIC!

Approximately 40 WSBA International Practice Section (IPS) members and guests boarded The Seeker of Anchor Bay Charters for a 3-hour tour. Yes, you read correctly: a 3-hour tour (fear not if you hear the theme song to Gilligan's Island - we all seem to).

The evening was absolutely perfect - great weather, fabulous food from Mangetout Catering, chilled beverages, and both stimulating and entertaining conversation.

We held our annual meeting which elected our new Executive Committee (EC) for 2009-2010: Jacqueline Pruner as Chair, Glen Yaguchi as both Chair Elect and Treasurer, and Gilberto Alonso Gomez Arce as Secretary. We also welcomed three new IPS members to our EC: Anamaria Turlea, Max Yoshimura, and Alvaro Alvarez, who were also elected to Executive Committee positions #1, #2, and #5, respectively. Bernel Goldberg was thanked for his wonderful leadership and insight as Chair for the 2008-2009 year and will now serve as Ex-Officio in 2009-2010. Randy Aliment, Charles Rendina, and Shahzad Qamer Qadri remain on the EC in Positions #3, #4, and #6, respectively.

Thanks to everyone who joined us and we hope to see you next year!
