This year’s annual meeting in January was a chance once again for members to reconnect with friends and colleagues, and to discuss the successes and challenges of the past year.  Guests came from all over New England to enjoy dinner, vote in the new Board of Directors, and listen to updates on the Association.

     The meeting was held at The Westford Regency Hotel in Westford, MA on Thursday, January 22, 2009 with close to 30 members attending from all over New England.

     The NEIRC continues to strive to offer informative, educational, and fun programs to keep you up-to-date on the latest in cleaning and restoration techniques.  This year, the Board’s goals are to survey members on what programs they would like to see offered.  Additionally, the Board is diligently working on increasing membership and on negotiating with businesses to offer members additional benefits. In this trying economy, the benefits of belonging to an association are even more valuable than ever.
