A Message from the President of the Alliance – Rebecca Goldberg |
|
Dear Alliance Member,
I am so looking forward to seeing many of you at the ACAAI Annual Meeting in Miami Beach this November. Jan Gower, Alliance President-Elect and I are working diligently to develop an enjoyable program for the Alliance members attending that meeting.
The Alliance Executive Committee has put into practice a few changes to help defer the cost incurred at the annual meeting:
•Annual Meeting Registration for Alliance Members in good standing will be $40. For those failing to pay annual dues the registration fee will be $95. There will continue to be no registration fee for Alliance FIT members
•There will be a $25 Family Registration (includes all children in an individual family) for families bringing children 3 to 12 years of age to the Annual meeting.
•Only members in good standing will be able to attend the Annual Alliance Business Meeting/Luncheon.
Thank you so much for your support. Watch for the next installment of the Alliance President’s corner containing the exciting programs for the Annual ACAAI Meeting in Miami Beach. I hope to see you all there.
Sincerely,
Rebecca A. Goldberg, RN
Alliance President, 2009 |

Silent Auction
Sunday, Nov 8th 7:00 – 8:00 pm
during the ACAAI Fundraiser Reception
The Alliance, will again, host a Silent Auction on behalf of the ACAAI Foundation to be held during the ACAAI Fundraiser Reception Sunday evening.
Proceeds from the Auction will be used by the Foundation to support the Consortium on Children’s Asthma Camps, Scholars Return Program and Young Faculty Support Awards.
The Alliance is seeking quality items for the auction such as jewelry, artwork, sports memorabilia and fine collectables. This year’s goal is to receive higher quality items with less focus on quantity. If you are interested in donating, please contact the ACAAI administrative office by clicking here.
Donors will be entitled to claim their donation as a charitable contribution for the fair market value of the item contributed. Please consult your tax advisor.
