From the Executive Director...

RISSA ACHIEVES EXCELLENCE IN ITS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES!

Thanks to all who made the 2012 RISSA/RIASBO Joint Annual Meeting a tremendous success by attending, participating and/or sponsoring the events of the day.  The Annual Meeting was the culmination of the most outstanding professional development year in the history of RISSA!  Thanks to the work of the Program Committee under the leadership of President-elect Katherine Sipala, each of the four professional development events was a must-see event.  The continued high attendance was a testimony to the support of the membership, the quality of the programs and the effectiveness of the partnerships that RISSA has formed.  The challenge that comes with such great success is designing the next year's schedule of events.  That work will begin for the RISSA Program Committee on May 24 when it convenes to begin planning the 2012-2013 professional development calendar.  Thanks again to all who were a part of this year's events and we'll see you in the Fall!
