Message from the President
Hello NACRAO!
I am very pleased to be able to serve NACRAO as president for 2011 and I wanted to take a moment to share with the membership some of the items the Board is working on this year. We started the year off with a very productive annual retreat at Mahoney State Park. We addressed old business from last year and started working on, what we think will be some fantastic opportunities for NACRAO growth this year (more on that later). I would appreciate hearing any ideas, thoughts, and/or concerns you might have for our organization as well. My email address is mschill@creighton.edu or you can always call me direct at 402.280.4022.
Also, a couple quick notes:
1. I hope some of you will be able to attend AACRAO 2011 in Seattle, Washington. It is scheduled for March 13-16, 2011 at the Washington State Convention Center and the theme is “Defining the Vision for the Next 100 Years.” Early registration ends today (January 28/ $495) and, as many of you that have attended AACRAO before can attest, the conference is sure to not disappoint. http://www.aacrao.org/seattle/
2. Also, relating to AACRAO, the annual NACRAO@AACRAO State Reception will be held Tuesday, March 15 at 6:30 p.m. at Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant. We will meet in the Pilsner room, which some of you will remember is the exact place of NACRAO@AACRAO in 2001 – our ten year anniversary!
Here is the link – http://www.gordonbiersch.com/locations/seattle-wa – and it’s conveniently located just a block away from the Convention Center.
3. The NACRAO Board is revisiting all of our technology/communcation pieces this year, including the website, with hopes to streamline all of the resources the NACRAO membership has at it’s disposal. Some of the new items will include an archive of all previous Board Minutes, a more user-friendly Membership Directory, an online repository of forms/surveys/applications, ongoing committee updates and a continual news feed of the good work our institutions are doing. We hope you will find these resources useful and informative in the work you do for our organization and your respective institution!
Enjoy your year, and I hope to see you at Fall Conference, Nov. 9, 10, 11 2011 in Hastings, Nebraska.
Have a great weekend,
Matt Schill, NACRAO President
