We have a lot to share with you in this issue!

First, I hope you will consider joining us in Louisville, Kentucky for our Annual Meeting at the JA USA National Leadership Conference. Here is a snapshot of our agenda. More details and registration info will be coming soon.

Second, JASAN is looking for folks to join the JASAN Executive Committee. We meet once a month and ask our members to serve on one additional committee.

The end of the year is just over a month away! With that, the JASAN Executive Committee is busy working on next year's budget, the Program of Work, and our plans for the Annual Meeting in Louisville.

We're also finishing up our funding campaign (yes, you can still contribute!) providing the ability to deliver our program of work during the 2023-24 year. This issue of our newsletter is focused on the agenda for the annual meeting, and our new regular feature - a spotlight on one of our members.

As we end 2022, I hope that you are in good health and have plans to celebrate the Holidays with your family and friends. On behalf of the JASAN group, I wish you the very best Holiday Season.

Our committees have been busy making sure that we live up to our mission: to provide a network for staff alumni and to further the mission of JA USA. We have exciting news on both fronts.

Happy New Year! I hope you and your family enjoyed the Holiday season. The older I get, the more I cherish the past and enjoy the memories we are creating with our children and grandchildren.

WOW – JASAN had our Annual Meeting July 13-14 in conjunction with the JAUSA National Leadership Conference in Fort Worth, TX. Both JASAN members and JA area participants said it was the best one ever.

As you may remember, JASAN provided 75 area staff people with scholarships to attend the conference. With our help, nearly 300 professional staff attended the conference – the most in several years! For meeting highlights, visit the website.

I trust this newsletter will find you and your family well. As we move into our second quarter, we have several exciting things taking place for our members.

Please consider joining a committee. Your participation and expertise are vital to JASAN. You should have received a survey last week inviting your participation. You can click here to access that survey. Committee
