ERAPPA 2008

 

The 2008 Host Committee has been working very hard to insure a successful annual meeting this fall. Under the leadership of Kevin Mann and Sherri Vucci planning is going full steam ahead.  A Call for Presentations has gone out and is available on-line. We encourage you submit a presentation if you have something new and innovative happening at your campus. You can find more information at Annual Meeting web site: http://www.erappa2008baltimore.org.  You can make hotel reservations, read about the golf tournament, find Business Partner opportunities and more.  Visit the web site today. The conference is September 28 - October 1^st

 

Business partners are reminded that there are still opportunities to be involved in the organization and they can begin by checking with the host committee for sponsorship opportunities.

 

 

New Board Position

 

One of the recent bylaw changes in Ottawa was to create a new board position and already it has proved to be a wise decision. The Vice President of Annual Meetings has been filled in the first year by Anne Babcock (Carleton University) and she is already helping out host committees as far in advance as 2011. The decision to bring someone on to focus on host committees is working out well. In addition to assisting the host committees, Anne is leading a rewrite of the Annual Meeting Guide to aide future host committees in their planning efforts.

 

 

Affiliate Agreement

 

Terry Pellerin (Worcester Polytechnic Institute), the Chapter Affairs Committee (Chapter Presidents) and the ERAPPA board will be discussing the affiliate agreement at the mid year meeting in Baltimore March 12-15^th. APPA Executive Vice President Lander Medlin will also be on hand at the meeting to discuss the agreement.  A progress report will follow in future ERAPPA Newsletters.

 

 

Circuit Speaker Named

 

Dana Peterson (University of New Hampshire) and the ERAPPA Education Committee have announced that Billy Riggs has been chosen as the 2008-2009 Circuit Speaker.  Funds are available to chapters for this and other Circuit Speakers through the ERAPPA Partners In Education Program.  More information on the Circuit Speaker program and the PIE Program can be found in the Education Resource section of the ERAPPA web site. http://www.erappa.org/Education/Speakers.html
