August 28, 2011
I am just back from Lexington Kentucky and another great conference. I met members of both the Wisconsin Association of Women Police and Iowa Association of Women Police boards. It was great to see them all.
Again ladies I urge you to attend future conferences.
2012 St John's New Foundland
2013 Durban South Africa
2014 Winnipeg, Manitoba
Next year in St Johns will be our 50th annual training conference.

I challenge all region 7 members to bring a into the organization. While the other parts of the world are bringing in new members the number of members in North America is shrinking. The application is on our web page www.iawp.org

Congratulations to Jill Mcrae St Paul Police who will be promoted to commander this coming Tuesday. Jill is a great person and the promotion is well earned.





Also congratulations to St Paul Officer Kyrstel Karels who received SPPD's life saving award on August 18,2011. Kyyatel found a man in full arrest from an apparent overdose and gave the man chest compressions. Again a very deserving person.

update

Greetings to all Region 7 members.
It is just a few short days until the conference in Lexington begins. I will be travelling there on Thursday to attend 2 days of board meetings and confeence.
I know the conference committee has put alot of work in the make the conference successful as we did it last year.
If you are not attending this year I strongly incourage you all to consider either attending St John's in 2012 or South Africa in 2013.
I attended my first conference in 1985 in Anchorage Alaska,as a young deputy and was hooked. I have maintained many friendships since. In fact this years heritage award winner Phyllis Nolan from Ireland and I attend that conference in 1985 as first time attendees.
Stay safe
Joann
