I hope that folks are able to find time over these next couple of weeks to relax and reflect on their accomplishments of the past year. Many, many people - from doctors, nurses, administrators to health promotion staff - worked quickly and diligently this fall on solving health issues on their campuses, including H1N1. I am excited and proud to work in the field of college health and proud of how my university and college health professionals from throughout New England responded to their students in need.
NECHA’s Administrative Director, Julie Basol has been working hard as well! Even after the Combined Annual Meeting ends for us, she was busy getting evaluations together and continuing education certificates mailed to attendees. Not to mention, working on next year’s Annual Meeting —yes already! If you have any questions about your continuing education credit from the Combined Meeting, please contact Julie.
NECHA’ s first board meeting of 2010 will take place on Wednesday, January 13th. With most of the 2010 Annual Meeting Planning Committee in place, the Committee will formally meet in early March to review Call-for-Proposals. So speaking of Call-for-Proposals, the process is open and has begun!
We invite you to respond to our Call-for-
Proposals for the 2010 Annual Meeting in Providence, Rhode Island. The Meeting will take place October 27-29 at the beautiful Renaissance Hotel in downtown Providence. Stay tuned for further details as they unfold.
On behalf of the NECHA Board, here’s wishing you a Happy New Year. Please remember, we are here for you – feel free to contact me or any one of us!
Best wishes to all in 2010!
