The Board of Directors voted to elevate

DiSomma (CA), Burt Like (NY), Donald Macron (NY), Mohammed
Mohuidden (CA), Sergio Nacht, Ph.D. (CA), Sarah Shuttleworth

changed to an Emeritus Member, please forward a letter to
the National Office.
Address Changes
Throughout
the year many of our members change jobs or relocate and
forget to notify the National Office. Without notification,
these members may not receive important mailings and eventually
are made inactive. If you know of someone who has moved,
please ask them if they have contacted the National Office
regarding their address change.

Notices will be sent October 1st and Final Notices will be

Retention Contest
The
Board of Directors is please to announce that there will
once again be a Retention Contest among the Chapters to see
which Chapter is able to retain the most members during the
dues renewal period for 2009. The chapter with the highest
percentage of retention based on their membership total as
of August 1st will be named the winner.
Employment

As a benefit to our members who may be unemployed,
the National Office prepares and mails upon request a monthly
employment listing. If you are aware of a job opening, please
forward the details to the National Office. This information
will be included in the following month's listing. This is
a great opportunity for members who are searching for a job
and a good source for companies seeking the right person
to fill a position. The National Office also maintains a
Resume Bank for its members. If you are seeking a position
send your resume to the National Office.
