Convention 2011 Day 1: Friday, July 8
We had a great first day in Reno yesterday! Kerri Regan, our convention chair, has a great week planned for NABS. Most of yesterday was spent in the air and getting settled at our hotel, the J.A. Nugget Hotel and Casino. Brooke Jostad, Kerri Regan, and I have purchased fun snacks to sell at General Session beginning tomorrow, Sunday. We also are collecting various raffle prizes that promise to be lots of fun. Included in these prizes is a Serotek screen reader, a Bookshare membership, and varioud gift cards. Thank you to Rose Martin (Secretary), Kerri Regan (Second Vice President), Ardis Byzan (Advisor), Brooke Jostad (Treasurer), Melanie Brunson (ACB liaison), Serotek, and Bookshare for your generous donations.
Today will be the start of our various sessions and programs. Stay tuned for more details!
Also, don't forget that we have elections this Tuesday at convention. You do not need to be present in order to run. The positions up for election this year are Secretary and Second Vice President. The Secretary is responsible for taking minutes at our meetins as well as various clerical tasks as provided by the board. The Second Vice President is in charge of convention and delegating many tasks in order to run a smooth and fun event.
These are great opportunities to enhance your leadership, social, and organizational skills. Please email me with nominations by Tuesday, July 12 at 12pm (noon) Pacific time. The nomination should include the name of nominee, their email address, and a short paragraph describing why he or she would make a great candidate. You may nominate a friend or yourself.
Keep connected! This is going to be a great week!
That's all for now,
Sara Conrad
NABS President
