A Letter from Alan Drazen, IAICDV President

Dear Friends,

On this eve of the New Year I wish each of you all the best for yourselves, your families and your business in 2010.  I also wish to extend my thanks for your support of our association.

For those who attended the 2009 convention my special thanks to the suppliers,  committee chairs, board of directors, exhibiters, past presidents, hall of fame inductees and the members for making the convention a part of your busy schedules.

We all faced difficult economic times in 2009 and 2010 will be another challenge. Difficult times like these are when strong trade associations are most valuable. We are a strong trade association. Our strength comes from:

• Strong commitment from both supplier and operator members demonstrated by 40 years of longevity.
  
• Strong educational programs.
  
  
•  Strong dedication by the board and committee chairs to promote the ideals of a safe industry with a positive image.
  
  
• Strong commitment to perpetuate the industry through aggressive and  proactive defense of legislative threats.
  
  
• Strong strategy for diversity and growth into the future.
  
  
• Strong new Executive Director and Management Firm.
  

Our theme for the 2009 convention was from the Bee Gee’s song "we will survive". As an association and an industry we will survive and much more.

Thank you and Best Wishes for a happy, healthy and successful 2010.

Alan
