The President’s Corner

Greetings!

Now that we’ve all had time to settle back in our offices after the annual meeting, I hope each of you have taken time to reflect a bit on what was helpful to you at the conference, and hopefully , incorporate some of those things into your daily routines. While some of these thoughts are still fresh in your minds, please pass on any program ideas for next year to Joey Linn, Program Chair and President-Elect. I know that the Program Committee would be pleased to have suggestions from the members for next year’s conference.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank MargE Shelley and her LAC committee for this year’s meeting, for the outstanding time they provided for all of us in Olathe. I wouldn’t mind seeing that opening video again - that was a definite highlight!

Executive Council met November 2, 1999, in Wichita, while most folks were already in town for the Futures Fair. We had a very productive meeting, and have given Chris Meiers, Technology Chair, approval to move ahead on several items related to the KACRAO web site. We are all excited at the possibilities to provide better service both to the association and to students and counselors across the state. Chris needs another “techie” to share some of the development work, so if any of you have some basic web design skills, please step up and offer your services. You can contact Chris at cmeiers@fhsu.edu

It’s not too early to put AACRAO’s annual meeting on your calendars. The conference will be in New Orleans, April 9-12, and promises to be a great event. The New Orleans LAC is suggesting that we make hotel reservations early and if you look at the AACRAO web site at www.aacrao.org there is abundant information on housing and other meeting items.

In closing, I would like to thank all of you for choosing me to serve you this year as your president. I will do my best to represent the association in a positive and professional manner. If you have questions or comments, please direct them to me, or any member of the Executive Council, or take advantage of the KACRAO listserv and share your thoughts with the membership. Good luck with the rest of your fall semesters.

Diane
