Dear Colleagues,
A month into the year and already the Commission is hard at work! Standing committees are beginning to hold their meetings, and the Leadership Development Committee will soon begin its work.
The Executive Committee (EXCOM) is addressing some identified issues that need resolution. Members of the Training Committee, supported by our excellent national office staff, have conducted training sessions in Texas and Missouri. MIC3 is on task, as always.
In the upcoming several months, the first priority is the development of the next steps of our Strategic Plan. The EXCOM will meet in Lexington, Kentucky in April to complete most of the work on this. To prepare, I’ve asked the standing committee chairs to gather your thoughts on how to advance the Compact, while Commission Vice Chair Laura Anastasio (CT) will seek feedback from our ex-officio organizations. In the meantime, I’m available, as is the national office staff, for any help you may need. Please contact Executive Director Cherise Imai or me any time.
Respectfully,
John I. “Don” Kaminar
Chairman (AR)
