The following announcement was posted to our Dallas Chapter IAHSP (DIRC) members yesterday by Barie Pinnell, 2007 Chapter President. I spoke with Barie yesterday and she and I agreed we should post this here for anyone who may be interested in the happenings of the Dallas Chapter IAHSP and the new board members.
It explains the mission of the Dallas IAHSP Chapter and introduces our newly elected DIRC Board Members and what their position represents.
There is no mystery involved in what makes any organization work, it's the PEOPLE involved and their committment to see it through.
I encourage each of you to commit yourselves to promoting the home staging industry in your community as well. Together we make a strong voice!
The Dallas IAHSP Regional Chapter December 2007
A Note from... Barie Pinnell 2oo7 President
Dear Fellow DIRC Members, The Dallas IAHSP Regional Chapter has grown in leaps and bounds and it could not have done that without your support. I want to thank you for your time, effort, energy, and undying loyalty that you have given to DIRC. You have elected an incredible Board for 2oo8! I am so excited because each of these women elected are leaders and believers in the Staging industry. We are in for a wonderful 2oo8! With much gratitude, Barie
Greetings!
Happy Holidays to you and yours from the Dallas IAHSP Regional Chapter!
2oo7 has been an incredible year! The membership has grown to over 30 members and we have several Business Affiliates. The fundraiser benefiting DIRC and our charities was a grand success and because of our membership's hard work we were able to complete 3 projects for our Worldwide Staging Service Week!
DIRC's mission is to enhance professional ASPTMand ASPMTMexcellence, facilitate business development opportunities, foster community where our members live and work, and increase the ASPTM/ASPMTM& IAHSP brand identity in the industry.
2oo7 is a year that will always be highlighted in my book - we built a chapter of ASPTM Stagers and Realtors rich in camaraderie and professionalism. We continue to learn from each other and share our strengths with each other and by doing that, we bring positive rewards to the Staging industry and ourselves.
So, without further ado, it is with great pleasure that I introduce you to the 2oo8 Dallas IAHSP REgional Chapter Board!
Please join the 2oo7 Board and me in welcoming our new 2oo8 Board! Happy Staging! Barie Pinnell 2oo7 President of DIRC
