Message from the President
Greetings NACRAO-nians!
As I type this message, I can hardly believe that we are into March already for 2010. If you are like me, you have Spring fever after the recent blast of semi-warm air and the white stuff finally giving way to puddles (or ponds) in backyards.
At the end of February, your Board of Directors was finally able to hold the annual retreat to gear up for what 2010 brings to our fine organization. We all left UNO feeling energized and excited about what our membership can do to advance higher education in our state.
So, as a member of NACRAO, I urge you to do what you can to make that statement come true. Involvement is easy, and can be as simple as volunteering at our annual Fall Conference, serving on a committee, or taking advantage at the plethora of professional development activities that NACRAO offers. NACRAO thrives by the involvement of the membership and quite frankly, we need to have your involvement to continue thriving and build on the positive momentum we have experienced.
As of today, we are still in need of some of you to step up and get involved. Two areas of specific need are the Post-Secondary Planning/EPP Committee and the Research Committee. The first is a very important committee collaboratively led by NACRAO and EducationQuest to coordinate and set the schedule for the “college fair circuit” in Nebraska (Les Monroe, lesm@educationquest.org). The Research Committee has been ignored by our organization too long, and our VP of Membership has some exciting ideas to revitalize and make it be an asset to our organization (Mike Kolker, mike.kolker@bellevue.edu). I personally urge you to step outside your comfort zone and get involved in one of these committees that need your help!
One final note, as if being President of NACRAO was not enough of a change for me this year, I accepted a position as Director of Student Recruitment at Midland Lutheran College. I am very excited to continue to work with all of you and build on the relationships I have established during my wonderful time at UNO.
Yours in higher education,
Jason J. Blohm, President
Nebraska Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers
