Report: I attended the June SASFAA Transition Retreat and August SASFAA
Executive Board Meeting. At the August board meeting many things were accomplished, including
approving a balanced budget for SASFAA, addressing SASFAA’s
response to the MyRichUncle marketing strategy, and
reporting to the SASFAA Board on current VASFAA activities. I had the opportunity to sit down and talk
with the other SASFAA State Presidents and discuss things going on within their
associations and discuss issues that were common to each of our state
associations (e.g. our concerns about decreased sponsorship due to HEAR changes
and mergers) I
sent a message to the VASFAA listserv after the SASFAA Board meeting
summarizing some of the activities that occurred during the meeting. I plan to attend the joint NCASFAA/SCASFAA

Report: The first action taking in this regard was to get some new
participation in the committee chair process and that was successful. A number of committee chairs are first-time
chairs. To ease the concern for some, I
established co-chair positions which I think will work fine. We had a large pool of volunteers to draw
from for committee assignments which was very encouraging since many of those
volunteers were new to VASFAA. I am working closely with the Past-President and
other members of the board to promote folks to step up as possible entries on 2007-08
slate of candidates.
