Message from the President

What a busy but good year I am having.  Having the opportunity of being your president has been a great adventure for me.

I have had the opportunity of attending all 3 mini conferences this year and they were all Great.  Thanks for all that helped make them so successful! I have had the pleasure in meeting new friends and renewing old friend ships. I hope to get a chance to meet more.  What a wonderful group of people you all are.

Eva Niederer, Anji Baumann and I all had the opportunity of attending Leadership conference in San Diego in April it very informative conference it is always nice to hear what other states are doing.  Getting advice on my Plan of Auction was very helpful.

I am looking forward to attend Legislative Auction Conference in Washington DC in February 28 thru March 3 this year. Kim Huntley, Debbie Timm, Eva Niederer and I will represent you there on Capital Hill hoping to get more funding so we can continue to feed our children well balanced meals and still stay with in our budgets.

I have been asked  to plan our State Conference in Worley this June 14-16 with pre conference classes on the 13th and 14th. Please put this on your calendar as I know it will be a fun but informative time.  Please watch your mail the end of January for the registration forms.  Also I will be posting classes on the ISNA web site so you can check it out and plan what classes you want to attend.  Also if you would like to help please let me know.

We are also going to be sending the election ballot with the registration forms. Please make sure that you VOTE !  The return date will be on the form.
