With the appearance of crocuses, violets, primroses, and forsythia buds, the Pacific Northwest welcomes spring. President-elect Sarah Nelson, Heidi Smith, our administrative liaison, and I have finalized Alliance programs for the ACAAI Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Nov. 11-16. We hope you make plans to attend the meeting and take advantage of the various programs offered.
On Friday, Nov. 12, we will kick off the meeting with a presentation by Betsy Todd, a certified tour guide of Arizona, who will discuss the history of Phoenix and suggest activities to pursue in the Valley of the Sun. Read more about the Phoenix program
We always appreciate any suggestions and comments, and welcome anyone who would like to join and volunteer. Please e-mail Heidi Smith, the Alliance Liaison, at heidismith@acaai.org, or myself at richardgower@comcast.net. I am enjoying being President of the Alliance of the ACAAI and urge spouses and partners of College members to become active in our organization!
