Dear IT Executive Manager:

The purpose of this letter is to provide you with information on the plans for the 2003 IPMA Executive Seminar. Last year, the Seminar was cancelled and an Executive Summit was held in its place.  This year, we will be returning to the Seminar format and accepting multiple registrations from each agency.

The Seminar will be held at Campbell's in Chelan from Tuesday, September 23rd, through Thursday, September 25th.  We are asking you to register on IPMA’s website by July 18th to ensure your seat. Here are the details:

• Registration is $595.00 payable to IPMA. The registration fee will cover the seminar fee, two (2) nights lodging and meals for Tuesday night through Thursday breakfast.
• Topic content will be focused on change within the state IT community including economics, technology, security and Civil Service Reform. We will discussing the IT manager’s role during this critical period of change.
• IPMA will provide free bus transportation to and from the Seminar. You will need to indicate your interest on your registration form.

It should be a great Seminar. This is the State of Washington’s premier IT executive networking event. We have some important, thought provoking topics to discuss.
