Planning Under Way for SASFAA 2006-2007
We have enjoyed a great year under the leadership of Guy Gibbs, SASFAA President. For me, this has been a year of learning, attending a few state conferences at the request of the president, and preparing for 2006-2007. Our officers have been elected, the state presidents elected by their state associations and committee chairs and liaisons selected. The following individuals will begin their service for next year on July 1, serving through June 30, 2007. We are blessed to have such a dedicated group of professionals willing to volunteer to further the goals of SASFAA.

Transition Planning
Planning is well under way for the final SASFAA board meeting of the year, as well as the transition of boards on Saturday, June 10, 2006. This meeting is to be held in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida, and will give the current board an opportunity to share their experiences with the new board and provide a chance for everyone to get to know each other better as we plan for activities and events for 2006-2007.

The volunteer form will remain active on the Web site. If you have not yet completed a volunteer form, you can still complete the form electronically and submit it to the President-Elect. Your information will be shared with the committee chairs. Also, please consider volunteering for your state association as they can use your help as well!
