As you will note, I visited all nine MASFAA states and my travels literally took me all over the country. Major accomplishments of the MASFAA Executive Council for the year included: held successful annual conference, summer institute and early awareness activity; reinstated and held a symposium; enhanced our award and recognition programs; developed a strategic long-range plan; received the most corporate support ever; increased membership over the previous year total; conducted training and membership surveys; published four electronic newsletters; secured annual conference locations through 2011; and kept the membership informed on legislative issues during a year of great change. Thanks to our elected officers and committee chairs for making these accomplishments happen!
