We have receivedpositive feedback from those who have attended these sessionsalong with interest from many institutions in hosting a workshopor leading a session. Jeff Liebermann, who has been nominatedto serve as chair-elect of the district board, has done a wonderfuljob of developing and executing this program.There also have been numerous advances in communicationincluding more frequent interaction through a new monthlyelectronic newsletter along with an upgrading of the printeddistrict newsletter, and continued growth in our Web presence.Brad Quarberg, Jacob VanScoy and Al Friedman have led thisgrowth and continue to develop creative approaches at improvingthe linkage between our district leaders and the members weserve.This year is also the first time our district has provideddiversity scholarships to assist members of underrepresentedgroups with the costs of attending our conference. Carla Willis,the chair of our Committee on Opportunity and Equity, hasdeveloped and implemented this program.
