CARA President's April Message


Dear CARA Members:

I’d like to welcome the newest member to the CARA board, Kristen Miller, Assistant Director of Research at the University of San Francisco.  She takes over Membership Chair duties from Dori Cavala, who resigned earlier in the year.

Here’s a brief update on what’s happening at CARA this month.

  • We’re currently testing our MemberClicks interface, which includes a new member database.  This will allow individual sign-ons to the CARA website and more detailed individual profiles.  It will also facilitate signing up for all CARA educational opportunities, and many more opportunities for member communication.  Stay tuned for your personalized member sign-on.
  • The 2009 Member Directory is currently being proofed and should be mailed next week or two. 
  • CARA’s brand new Corporate and Consultant Partner Program is being rolled out this week.  Many thanks to our Marketing Chair, Aimee Fitzgerald, for the many hours of work that went in this new program that will facilitate a year-round marketing program for our many vendors and consultants.
  • We’re still working on the promised Member Survey.  Look for this toward the end of the month or early May.

Finally, I have a new email address for those of you who might want to contact me directly with concerns or suggestions on how to improve CARA.

New email: gary.lance.prcs@gmail.com
