President’s Message – May/June 2000

For those of you who are new to NWSSA, or those of us who are still trying to keep up with the constant changes of a volunteer organization, I’ve put together a little overview of our existing structure with the people who help us accomplish all that we do. There are many people who volunteer to help out with our various endeavors who are not listed in this overview, but the intent of this is for you to see who you can contact if you have an interest in helping out in an area for which you have energy or expertise. Due to the fact that we all have busy lives outside NWSSA, there is a constant need for people who have a little extra time to spare helping to keep all of our delicately balanced plates spinning happily. So if you can lend a helping hand in some way, this organization outline will help you get in touch with someone.

Due to a number of circumstances, one event that has been cancelled from our schedule this year is the Thetis Island Symposium in B.C. in September. Although it is not a part of our scheduled events, there are a number of people in B.C. who are trying very hard to make something happen this year, for which we send our best wishes. We’ll keep you informed of updates
