Chapter Members:

We had a great turnout at our May meeting at Meadowview. Mark Benson provided us with a very interesting presentation on insurance market status and risk issues. We also welcomed three new members to our chapter: Josh Odom with Dent K. Burk Associates and two student members from ETSU, Jonathan Smith and Sean Hu. Look for these new members at our upcoming meetings to introduce yourself and get to know them.

Our June meeting will be held one week later than usual on June 23, due to the Annual Convention in Asheville the previous week. This will be a joint meeting with the Tri-Cities Estate Planning Council at the Holiday Inn in Johnson City. Anne McKinney, an attorney and very popular speaker on estate planning issues, will be our guest speaker. She is an excellent and entertaining speaker and you won't want to miss this meeting if at all possible. If you would like to see a short clip of McKinney in action you can click this link: http://www.youtube.com/user/ladysingsthenews.

If you are attending the annual convention in Asheville, I will see you there.

Sincerely,
Donna Jones
