Notes from the
Chair
March 11 is
approaching, so
everyone please
look not only in
this newsletter,
but also at our
wonderful
updated website
and see the
event you will
absolutely not
want to miss.
By that time,
our snow may
have melted
---maybe---and
we will be able
to spend a
delightful day
with an
outstanding
selection of
speakers while
we enjoy OVIFT’s
2nd annual
Symposium at
Ohio State
University.
We can fill this
event to
capacity by
calling our
friends and co
workers and
inviting them to
share a ride and
the educational
value that
Monica and her
committee have
prepared for us.
Also, in last
month’s
newsletter you
found a list of
those who are
running for
offices on your
Executive Board.
The vote will be
set up on our
website and you
will have the
privilege of
making your
selection.
Please be sure
to vote by March
10 so that we
can announce our
new officers at
the Symposia.
We will be
posting the
Scholarship
Application on
the website in
early March, so
spread the word
to all of the
students you
know. The
Scholarship
Committee is in
the process of
finalizing the
updated
application and
have done an
excellent job.
Thank you for
your time and
recommendations.
Please contact
your board
members with any
suggestions or
questions you
may have.
