Philadelphia Meeting

On Monday, November 13 at Kildare's Irish Pub located in Headhouse Square, in a unique, cozy room filled with carved wooden furniture (note the photo), about 20 local members attended the AEA Membership Meeting in Philadelphia. We were joined by Eastern Regional VP Arne Gundersen, National Outreach/Education Director Amy Dolan, and Traveling Business Rep. Joe Erdey.

There was a lively discussion about many topics, including the Health Plan changes, the local e-mail list-serve, the Philadelphia newsletter and the success of the Philadelphia EMC night held the week before. Plus, four members stepped up to become new members of the Philadelphia AEA Liaison Committee: Pat Sabato, James DiBiasio, Maureen Torsney-Weir and Julie Czarnecki. We look forward to their participation in 2007.
