It's a new era for NALTEA.  Our 2009 conference has come and gone.  We have enjoyed seeing many familiar faces, and were thrilled to meet several new members in Charlotte, NC.  It's a bittersweet time for the board of directors, and for the members who have benefited from the efforts of our outgoing officers and board members.

We offer our sincere gratitude to our outgoing board members and officers:  Lynn Hammett, who served on the board since February of 2006, and as NALTEA president for the past year; and Vikki Moffitt, who served as vice president from February to April of 2008, and has since served as a board member.

NALTEA appreciates their service.

NALTEA has finalized the date and location of the October 2009 Conference.

 On Monday, January 19th, NALTEA will hold its annual meeting and elections.  At this time, we have three candidates in the running for two open seats on NALTEA's board of directors.  Each has provided some biographical information and a paragraph or two to let our members know what he or she will work to accomplish for NALTEA, if elected.

This is an opportunity for NALTEA members to get to know our candidates, to ask questions, to find out which candidates best represent what you think is best for your association and your industry.  Let's meet the candidates (in the order in which their nominations were received):
