Cancelation of CHIMA convention
|
Last year it was announced that CHIMA would not be holding their annual CHIMA convention as they had always done in years past. This decision had struck a cord with the members of the executive and we felt that we wanted to express our concerns to CHIMA regarding this. To that end SHIMA President drafted a letter which was amended and approved by our other executive members and sent off.
