Committee also discussed Annual conference.  Committee is responsible for approximately 20 concurrent sessions and one general session.  General session speaker already confirmed.  Possible concurrent session topics were discussed.  Action plan on few topics to see if can confirm a speaker.  Interesting twist for Wednesday general session: Federal Update.  Jeanne will give updates at Board meeting.  Written report on this topic to follow.  The committee is planning to meet at SASFAA and in early March to finalize concurrent sessions for Annual conference.

Report: We are having the NAOW on October 16th in conjunction with the Fall Training series. Event will be from 10-5pm at the College of William and Mary.  Lunch will be combined with all participants of Fall Training series to allow for intermingling of all VASFAA participants from each of the meeting groups.

Evaluations were strongly favorable to have NAOW training in Fall and Spring.  Evaluations also gave input on possible future training topics.
