Hi all,
Thanks very much for all for the personal recommendations from the
many chapter delegates that personally know the individuals proposing
to form this chapter.
I should clarify that this chapter is not yet formed but is in the
process of doing so. This stage is the part where we carry out 'due
diligence' in the interests of trying to ensure that those proposing
to form the chapter are genuine and sincere in their efforts to do so.
Best wishes,
Anne
