Are we there yet?

Can we meet in person?  Your Council has been making definite plans to offer live CPE, just like the good old days, with the option to join virtually for those who prefer.  With recent developments, we saw the need to implement Plan B--all-virtual events.  The safety of those we serve is still our top priority.  Either way, we will continue to offer outstanding programs.

We are still committed to helping our member Chapters in any way we can.  If there is anything we can do for you, please contact us at midatlanticima@gmail.com .

Do you want to help your Chapter provide excellent service?  Let us know.  We will put you in touch with the right people.
