Topic Committee Deliberations

Dear Community,

I am happy to report that your topic committee has completed its 
deliberations on the topic area ballot.  Greg Simerly, your 
Executive Secretary, will release the ballot today at 2:00PM both via 
postal mail and e-mail to list-serves.  It will contain five topic 
areas for you to rank in order of your preference.  As I noted 
in earlier posts, the committee decided to limit the 
number to five (after requesting community input) to avoid vote 
dilution and supply a managable field of topics on the ballot.

I would like to thank you all for your input.  I hope that you will 
continue to share your suggestions regarding resolution wordings when 
the topic area is decided. 

I would also like to thank the members of the topic committee: Jenny 
Barker, Russ Church, David Hingstman, Scott Jensen, Gina Lane, Greg 
Simerly and Tuna Snider  as well as immediate past members 
Josh Hoe and Pam Stepp.

Most importantly, however, I would like to thank those authors who 
took the time and care to give us a fantastic set of topic area 
papers with which to work: David Berube, Martin Harris, Paul Hayes, 
John Meany, Bill Newnam, Richard Pineda, Scott Segal, Stacy Sowards, 
Doyle Srader, Jason Trice and Dave Wolynski.  They have done a great 
service to the community!  The topic committee had truly an 
embarrassment of riches! You all really came through for the 
community and the committee.  Thank you very much for your service to 
the organization!!!

Finally, I want to remind you to feel free to either 
contact me for copies of the topic area papers or Russ' (MTSU) or 
Tuna's (Vermont) web page if you need them. 


Best,
Carrie
