<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Frank,<br>
<br>
I appreciate the response, looking at the list I would be interest in the Education Committee, I'll join their mailing list first and get familiar with their network.
<br>
<br>
Also, I was looking at the local chapters, I'm in the United States in New York, is their no local chapter here? Just in California (Based on the link)<o:p></o:p></p>

I also meant to emphasize that the local chapters are also always<br>
looking for keen volunteers to give presentations, organize events<br>
and lead/support local initiatives of various sorts.<br>
