SAVE THE DATES!!! May 30 - June 1, 2007 This is a "Save the Date" announcement for this year's Annual Meeting of the WIA Attorneys' Workgroup. The meeting is planned for Wednesday, May 30, through Friday morning, June 1, 2007, in downtown Denver, Colorado. We have not yet prepared a draft agenda or lined up speakers. Margaret Dawkins (OK) and John Albin (NE) are the co-chairs and I will be working with them to set up an agenda- planning committee. All suggestions are welcome. You will be hearing more about this conference in the coming weeks. As you know Maria Colavito did incredible work with - and for - the NASWA WIA Attorneys' Workgroup. Maria was employed by NASWA as a consultant, primarily for the WRIS project. With the loss of the contract from ETA for WRIS, Maria is no longer working for us. She is pursuing a position with the new administration in New York. With that change, I am assigned to be your staff liaison and will be planning the meeting, etc. I'm sure I won't be able to meet Maria's high level of expertise (and attention to detail), but I'll do my best - with your assistance and patience. Please plan to attend the conference. I know you will not be able to make travel plans until you get more information, but hopefully, if you mark the meeting on your calendar, it will raise the chances of being able to attend. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
