ANTSHE NEWS Together we can make a difference.
~E-news U Can Use~ PRESIDENTIAL NOTES The 2004-2005 ANTSHE Year is now in the third quarter and I am so pleased to provide the Membership with information about the growth of the organization. Reflecting back over the past year, we have experienced growing pains and positive growth “spurts.” This year began with a small Board of Directors and many open positions. In March, committed members came forward to fill these open positions. We have had a very busy year with many new projects undertaken. Since information about these projects will be announced at the New Hampshire Conference, I am not able to release this exciting information at this time. However, I can say that we are looking forward to one of the best conferences in ANTSHE’s history. Also, new awards to honor those who continue to work for non-traditional students across this nation will be announced at the conference. This organization is operated by an all-volunteer staff at present. Therefore, many obstacles are encountered because of this fact. However, this board does not see any of these obstacles as stumbling blocks but as challenges. I am very fortunate to work with some of the best people from across the nation. Their dedication and commitment to this organization has created the momentum to accelerate ANTSHE to greater heights of public awareness in the educational communities across the United States and Canada. The current Board of Directors is very dedicated to continue the growth of ANTSHE. I had appointed a Marketing Committee, chaired by Gabe DeGabriele. The Marketing Committee has distributed ANTSHE flyers and brochures throughout the nation. We developed an informational CD that can be mailed or given to institutions and/or organizations that express interest in ANTSHE. We have been invited to attend other conferences to promote our organization. Another goal associated with ANTSHE’s growth is to have a permanent office and paid staff members. This will be quite an undertaking and requires the cooperation of many people to work together for this to happen successfully. In order to realize this goal, I began to seek outside sources of funding. Assisting me in this endeavor is Gerald Morgan, Student Representative. He has been researching grants and business plans information. I have drafted the business plan which has been accepted by the Board of Directors at the October meeting in Wichita, KS. I am in the process of applying for grants with the assistance of Art Manjarrez, Student Representative. These accomplishments and continuing projects would not be possible without a collaborative effort by all the Board members. I am very proud to be the President of this Board of Directors and the opportunity to work with each of them. Let’s keep this momentum going! The New Hampshire Conference will be exciting and I am looking forward to seeing and talking with each of you. See You Soon, Tina Lloyd, President
