President's Message

Like all Chapters of the national AAII organization, ours is run by members who volunteer their energy, ideas, and time.  In return, they gain a unique opportunity to "rub shoulders" with experienced investors/leaders and to contribute in educating both other members and themselves.  Each of us will tell you that we get more value out of the work we do than what we put into it.

People move on, however, and if the Chapter is to continue, new leaders must step forward from time to time. If this opportunity calls you, come join our team: Work closely with and learn from generous, experienced investors.  You need no special qualifications to make a difference here, just a willingness to learn and to collaborate. 

Ask one of us about how you can make a difference for others while improving your own investment skills.

-- Roy Taylor, President
