The conference committee is exploring the idea of doing a New Member/First Time Attendee Orientation Session at Conference. It would be right after the Opening General Session on Tuesday, October 9. It's been a while since this has been done and they would like to make it more helpful than just an "here's ILA" presentation.

During the Conference Program Committee's discussions, the suggestion was made to involve the Leadership Forum in the planning and maybe have the Forum take the lead. I think it sounds like a great opportunity for the Forum and think we can come up with something fun and creative to do. I'm looking for a couple of volunteers to work with Cyndi and the conference committee on this.

If you're interested, you can reply to the group or to me privately.

I'm kind of a newbie, but I'd like to assist any way I can.

Thanks to Vandella Brown, Sue Parsons, and Jill Sodt for volunteering to work with the conference committee on this. If others are interested, I'm sure these three will appreciate the help.

I'll pass your names along to Cyndi so she knows who to contact.
