President's Message: 2021 Board Reorganization

The ICRM Board of Regents approved a reorganization of the board at its July Board Meeting.  The President-Elect will be assuming the responsibilities of the Treasurer starting in January 2022 as the President-Elect/Treasurer. As a result, the ICRM will be discontinuing the position of the Secretary/Treasurer. These changes have created an opportunity to make room for a new Board Position, Regent, Marketing and Communications. 

Due to the efficiencies our current Secretary/Treasurer Ellie Maier has created over the past several years along with strong support from our Management Company, Capitol Hill Management Services, most of the time-sensitive detailed work of the Secretary/Treasurer board position has been reduced. Moving the oversight responsibilities of the Treasurer to the President-Elect provides an opportunity for the new President-Elect/Treasurer to understand the operations of the ICRM at the start of their time on the Executive Committee.

The Marketing Committee and Webmaster supports all areas of the ICRM. Providing a seat on the board to engage in early discussions will benefit all Regents, Committees, and ultimately our membership. 

Please join us in welcoming the newly Board Appointed Regent, Marketing & Communications, Jerry Lucente-Kirkpatrick, CRM, IGP.

Jerry worked on developing the ICRM Mentoring Committee which led him to serve as the first ICRM Mentoring Committee Lead for Parts 1-6. As a result of his success leading the Mentoring Committee, he was moved over to Marketing as the Committee Lead.  With the support of President-Elect Andrew Ysasi, Jerry has brought structure and depth to the ICRM’s marketing activities. Revising the Committee Lead to a Regent position to represent the Marketing Committee and Webmaster will allow the ICRM to continue to grow and communicate more effectively with members, candidates, and prospects. 

Jerry enjoys bringing order out of chaos through managing records and information, loves sharing nature with his husband, their 19-year old daughter, and two dogs. He is passionate about volunteering with the ICRM as a way of giving back to the RIM profession that has provided him with so much enjoyment.

The Regent, Marketing & Communications position will be open to election in 2022. 
 

Thank you,
Sharon LaPlant, CRM
ICRM President
