Dear Fellow IIMC Region I Members,

We are so excited to be announcing that our 2023 IIMC Region 1 Annual Meeting will be held March 29-31, 2023 at The Otesaga, in Cooperstown, NY. Still owned by the Clark family today, The Otesaga is Cooperstown's landmark historic hotel. For more than a century, The Otesaga has combined impeccable hospitality, first-class accommodations, and fine dining. Overlooking Lake Otsego, the resort offers a grand setting where you can explore Cooperstown's rich history, vibrant food scene, and cultural attractions, including the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum.

This year’s Annual Meeting and education sessions offer you the opportunity to earn up to 8.5 points towards your CMC or MMC. For those of you who are working towards your CMC or MMC designation, the 8.5 points will go a long way in helping to reach that goal. Whether you are just starting out or have need of those last few points to reach the finish line, this year’s pre and post Annual Meeting educational opportunities will fit the bill. The educational line up is amazing beginning Wednesday, March 29tth with our Athenian Dialogue and continuing Thursday and Friday with exceptional sessions sure to leave you wanting more! Stay around Saturday and visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum. What a treasure to be so close too!

The Athenian will be split into two days this year beginning Wednesday, March 29th at 1:00 p.m. and finishing Thurs-day morning. This year’s book, Luckiest Man, The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig, by Jonathan Eig, will be facilitated by Region 1 Director Susan Haag, Town Clerk/Tax Collector for the Town of Austerlitz, New York.

For those not taking the Athenian Dialogue, we’ve left Thursday morning as travel time with pre-Annual Meeting educational sessions beginning promptly at 1:00 p.m. Catherine D. Donahue, our instructor, will be back with us this year teaching on how to Build High Performing Teams in 2023. Friday, March 31st, begins bright and early at 6:00 am with and optional IIMC Region 1 Benefit Walk/Run. If you didn’t participate last year, jump on board. It’s a great time of the day to get the blood flowing. The NEACTC leadership will meet for breakfast at 7:00 am.

Pre- and post-Annual Meeting education sessions will follow Friday morning and afternoon, our Annual Meeting taking place during lunch. Friday night finishes off with our annual Banquet and the Tea-cup raffle, which proceeds help de-fray the cost of our Annual Meeting. Be sure to bring along your raffle item and spare cash to bid!

You won’t want to miss visiting our Sponsors. Learn what’s new; ask questions about your current systems; visit with friends and make some new ones. Sponsors will be available Thursday and Friday.

We can’t wait to see everyone in Cooperstown! Make sure to register early!

Best,

Sue and Kathy
