<font face=Perpetua><span style='font-family:Perpetua'>Dear Colleagues:</span></font>
<br>
<br>
<font face=Perpetua><span style='font-family:Perpetua'>Last week you received
an e-mail from me which consisted of important information about our Spring
2007 conference. In that welcoming letter, I concluded by strongly
encouraging you to join AHEAD – <st1:place w:st="on">New England</st1:place>
if you are not currently a member. I’m writing once again to
emphasize that point and encourage you to become involved in this professional
organization!</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font face=Perpetua><span style='font-family:Perpetua'>Each spring, AHEAD
– <st1:place w:st="on">New England</st1:place> members participate in the
voting process to nominate and select individuals to the Board of Directors.
Although the spring semester has just begun, the voting process is right
around the corner. The nomination process will begin on Thursday,
February 1st and will continue through Wednesday, March 14th. The
official slate of candidates will be released March 19th for the AHEAD-New
England membership, and the voting will come to a close April 27th before the
lunch time break at the Spring Conference. The two open positions for the
2007-08 academic year are <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>President Elect</span></b>
and <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Secretary</span></b>.</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font face=Perpetua><span style='font-family:Perpetua'>If you are not currently
a member of AHEAD – <st1:place w:st="on">New England</st1:place>, but would
like to join and play an important role in this voting process, I encourage you
to visit our web site at <u><font color=blue><span style='color:blue'>www.ahead.org/about/regional_affiliates/newengland/index.htm</span></font></u>,
submit your membership application, and become involved in this ever growing
professional organization. What are the benefits to joining and becoming
part of the Board of Directors? It offers endless opportunities to fine
tune your skills in collaborating with other professionals throughout <st1:place
w:st="on">New England</st1:place>, play a key role in the development of
conferences and workshops, and provide your unique perspective as you help
expand the services and resources available for colleagues throughout the
region. If you've been a member in the past but have not renewed your
membership for the 2006-2007 year, I encourage you to do so as soon as possible
so you can participate in the voting process once again.</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font face=Perpetua><span style='font-family:Perpetua'>At any time, if you have
questions about this nomination and voting process, or about our organization,
I encourage you to contact myself or any of the Board members. Best of
luck with the beginning of your Spring semester!</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font face=Perpetua><span style='font-family:Perpetua'>Sincerely,</span></font>
