Thank you for your comments. Yes, we have had ideas and thoughts shared with the team by members throughout the Society. Many have to do with membership and reorganization of our committee structure. Team members get all the information and appreciate the thoughtfulness and creativity of our members. I don’t know that any “strands” as you called them are emerging other than the two key targets I mentioned. We welcome input on any part of the documents. Team members are looking at every article and every standing rule. Small group focus groups within the team are working on particular portions of the documents.

As for getting the word out, we have tried to do that through state conventions, the regional conferences, state newsletters and websites, the International website, the NEWS, and our Administrative Board members and members of the team are spreading the word in all their communications. It has also been a focus of the “BUZZ” from the International Communications Committee. We would be grateful for anything you can do to help spread the word even more. Time is of the essence.

Information can be sent to me or to any member of the Revision Team. Anything I receive is forwarded on to the entire group. Thank you again for your interest and your participation. Take care. Catherine
