President's Letter to Members

Dear Members, Partners, and Friends,

It is a very exciting time to be part of CARA – especially if you’re the new president! On February 15th we held the first board meeting of 2013. I’m pleased to welcome Shoshanna Carter, Lisa Johnston, Geeta Ramdat, and John Rivett to the CARA Board. No professional association can exist, much less thrive, without the work of its volunteers, and I hope that many of you reading this will consider taking advantage of the numerous volunteer opportunities CARA offers, including Board service.

As is always the case at this time of year, CARA is hard at work preparing for our annual conference: June 27-28 at the Long Beach Hilton. This is a very special conference for us, celebrating CARA’s 20th Anniversary, and Conference Chair Sara Boretz has been working overtime to assemble a great slate of speakers! We’ve previously announced Keynote Speaker Debbie Miller, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Advancement Services at Appalachian State University, and Plenary Speaker Pamela Poland, President of Pamela Poland + Associates. It’s my pleasure to now be able to let you all know that CARA founding member Peter Wasemiller, J.D., Assistant Professor of Business Administration: Law and Ethics at Fresno Pacific University, and private investigator Chris Reynolds of Chris Reynolds Investigations have agreed to join us in Long Beach; thanks, Peter and Chris! We are also planning to have for the first time (at least in my memory)  a session for you to meet the members of the CARA Board, ask questions, make suggestions, and in general discuss the state of the association. I’m looking forward to it!
