Dear AAFEPA Members

Spring is busting out all over here in my county. I really like this warm weather but am afraid we will still have some cold days yet to come. Don McPherson is working on our conference in the fall. The dates are set for Wednesday, November 16, 2011, through Friday November 18, 2011. The executive board will meet on November 15, 2011. So make plans to attend by budgeting money for this conference. I will see you there.

The National Association of Federal Education Program Association (NAFEPA) will have their conference at the end of March, just a few weeks away. If you have not registered now is the time. The agenda is full of knowledgeable speakers. Budgets everywhere are looking very tight and we need to get our input to our congressmen. Plans have been made to visit with our senators and congressmen on Capitol Hill on March 29, 2011. I am including a schedule. If you have already scheduled a time with your district congressman, please email it to me and I will put it on our schedule. Charlotte Campbell, Gadsden City has arranged visits with Shelby, Sessions and Aderholt. I have scheduled Mike Rogers. Anyone attending the NAFEPA Conference is welcome to go with us on these visits. I look forward to seeing you in Washington, DC.

Congratulations go out to Don McPherson for his appointment as superintendent to Coffee County and to Margaret Mastin for her appointment to assistant superintendent in Marshall County.

Sincerely

Jayne Davis
AAFEPA President
