DIA-OFA updates & upcoming events

The DIA-OFA team has had a busy start to 2009. The website has been updated and we have added a new email broadcast list. Feel free to subscribe at DIA-OFA.org Most of this year's events have been scheduled. In fact, the DIA-OFA calendar is full through the Fall. Following is the latest news.

Website sponsors and membership list updates: We have updated all sponsor links going back to our last golf outing. If you are interested in becoming a featured sponsor please contact one of our officers. The member database has also been cleaned up. Only current members are listed. See the DIA-OFA website for a membership application if you are interested in joining or renewing your membership.

Event topics survey: We had a great turnout for January's US Customs event. The DIA-OFA is interested in learning what other topics are of interest to our guests and members. Look for a online survey coming soon.

Scholarship and Internship meeting: The DIA-OFA will re-introduce its annual scholarship meeting on May 7th. This meeting will also feature valuable information regarding new and easy ways for small and mid-sized businesses to access interns from local universities. Stay tuned for copies of this year's scholarship nomination forms.

Golf Outing: The annual DIA-OFA golf outing will return the the Golden Fox in Plymouth on June 18th.

Tigers Outing:
The DIA-OFA returns to the "Dew Deck" for a Friday game at Comerica Park. Come out and cheer on the Tigers as they face the Chicago White Sox.
