Editor’s Welcome To The Membership 

As “Director of Communications” I have been given responsibility for the “The Journal” – our newsletter – if you don’t recognize the title - that you are this moment reading.

I’ve done this before – for other associations in other places – and if I’ve learned one thing, it’s that no one should underestimate the power of the pen.

“The Journal” does and will turn up in ten thousand places (allowing each of our 2600 members three opportunities to “share”). It exists to inform our membership, and to provide “talking points” around which our members can decide on their own individual, and possibly our association’s “official” position.

The “Journal” will print what you want it to print - mostly – and also what we think you need to know. The decision on where the balance will lie, is up to you. Feel free to email both The Journal and me at any time: boblif@aol.com.

And so the publishing year begins.

Editor, “The Journal”
