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.
