Greetings Everyone:
Let the good times roll - a New
Orleans phrase that certainly describes the annual AACRAO conference
in New Orleans. Im sorry that all of Kansas was not able
to attend, but for those who did, it was a marvelous kaleidoscope
of fun, food and professional development. Im still checking
for powdered sugar on my chin from the beignets (square-shaped
doughnuts covered with powdered sugar) that were served everywhere.
One sneeze and it was all over - literally! The AACRAO Program
Committee, which includes Ange Peterson from Pittsburg State,
deserves high marks for the fine sessions that were presented.
It was an honor to accept the Elbert W. Ockerman Award for outstanding
state or regional professional development activity, for the
video from last years annual meeting, Mission Possible.
Many positive comments were offered to Kansas members at the
state and regional officers workshop, where the award was presented.
To further professional development right here at home, there
are two things that each member can do right now; nominate someone
for a leadership position in KACRAO for the coming year, and
nominate someone for one of our association awards. The call
for these two items has been made, and the response the last
couple of years has not been great. This is your chance to have
a voice in important association business - dont ignore
it! Please do remember that you should have confirmation from
anyone whom you nominate for an office that he/she is willing
to serve. There are forms and information on the KACRAO web site,
kacrao.org, for both of these activities.
Good luck to all with the rest of your spring semesters, and
if you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate
to contact me, or any of the Executive Council members.
Diane
