Volume 62 Issue 1
Our annual convention is a time to learn, catch-up, and be together as a field. I look forward to this
convention each year and I hope you will consider joining us.
I also wanted to give you a few updates. I have been working with our standards revision
committee. This has been a tremendous effort on the part of Deborah Hatton, Holly Lawson, Sandy
Lewis, Carlie Rhoads, and Danene Fast. Currently the committee has been working with experts in the
field to revise each strand and work to ensure a lit review was created to substantiate the standards, as
required by CEC. I want to thank all strand leaders for their efforts on this project.
Strand 1: Deborah Hatton and Carlie Rhoads
Strand 2: Stacy Kelly and Dawn Anderson
Strand 3: Holly Lawson and Kathryn Botsford
Strand 4: Cheryl Kamei-Hannan and Olaya Landa-Vialard
Strand 5: Sandy Lewis and Rona Pogrand
Strand 6: Tiffany Wild, Kelly Lusk, Danene Fast, and Ann Pilewskie
Strand 7: Sunggye Hong and Ting Siu
All of these strands will be reviewed at the AFB Leadership Conference. Be sure to keep checking back
to our division page for more information.
Deborah Hatton has also been busy working on division papers. Please check back to our division
page for updated papers that have been approved by our board. This matter will be discussed in our
upcoming board division conference call.
Last but not least, a vote will be taking place regarding a change in our constitution. This
information has been on our website for some time for comment. It is now time for a vote. Please be
watching your inboxes for more information about this important vote. Results will be presented at the
convention.
Hope to see you all in Boston!
