As I tell my staff, this is the most wonderful time of the
year! I know we are all very busy and I want to wish you a smooth start
to the year. Stay strong, and remember, what we are doing is making
dreams come true!
I
have one quick update I need to share with you. As are result of
obligations on her job, Sandy Neel has had to step off the Board. Sandy
was working on the LRP and governance issues. While we hate to lose
Sandy, our first responsibility is to the organization that signs our
checks. Sandy is on this email and I want to take this opportunity to
thank her for her work and support of SASFAA, and for me personally. She
will be missed.
Stepping
in to work on LRP and governance is another outstanding member of SASFAA –
Keith Reeves. Keith is good friend and will work hard to carry this
project forward. Keith, I personally thank you for your willingness to step up
and take over this task. Keith and I served on the last long range plan
and I know he is going to do an outstanding job for SASFAA.
Keep
an eye on the Legal Issues Workshop. It is really coming together.
You will want to attend and encourage others to do the same. I am looking
forward to this event.
This week, call
a colleague who is not a member of SASFAA and encourage them to
join. Wayne Kruger tells me we are off to a good start with membership,
but we want to see SASFAA grow. Working together we can make that happen.
Thank
you for all you do for students and SASFAA. With all of us working
together it is going to be a great year!
