President's Message

                                                            April 2010

Hi UP IMA Chapter Member!

Before another year of IMA comes to a close, we have one more tour scheduled for Friday, April 9, 2010 at 2 p.m.  This time we will visit Superior Fabrication, LLC, in Kincheloe, MI in the eastern UP.  This will give our members living in that area a chance to visit an exciting company without having to make a long drive to the central or western UP.  This includes members of our recently started student chapter at Lake Superior State University.  The tour will be hosted by Roy Thurston, CMA, Controller at Superior Fabrication, and an ardent supporter of IMA.  See inside for details on the tour.


For the year, our chapter provided three tours and a presentation on the banking crisis in conjunction with our annual holiday dinner.  For those needing CPE, this is a fun and educational way of obtaining them.  Many thanks to those involved in setting up the tours and especially to our hosts and speakers.  Your efforts have made this year another successful one for our chapter.

We also answered phones for Public TV-13, granted a college scholarship, and sponsored a new student chapter at Lake Superior State.  Thanks to all involved in these activities as well as to our loyal and committed board of directors. 

If you have an idea for a meeting or a tour for next year, please send your ideas to me via e-mail at jothomps@nmu.edu or give me a call (227-1803 or 228-8052).

I hope to see you at the tour at Superior Fabrication, but, if not, have a great summer!

YOUR President,

Joel Thompson
