Subject: NACD Poster Contest Display
Aloha, More Conference news...Here is an opportunity for everyone to take part in the NACD Pacific and SW Conference this September, even those who aren't able to make it here.
We want to display posters from both regions that were entered into local Poster Contests. They can be posters with this year's theme, Conservation Habits = Healthy Habitats or any previous year. We want to recognize those districts that have been able to organize this contest and hope that you can give the rest of us pointers on how to set a contest up.
If you want to participate the best thing to do would to mail me your poster to the address below. You can also email me a picture of it. I'm confident I can figure out a way to print a picture of a poster at such a size (probably 11x17) that it would be appropriate for the display. You can also bring your poster but let me know that's what you are doing so that I can make contact with you ASAP after your arrival at the hotel so that it can be included in the display.
This was not my idea but I've been talking to so many people lately I don't know who to give the credit to. Suffice it to say, everyone's ideas and help are greatly appreciated, so send those posters, or pictures of posters my way.
Aloha,
Mary Robblee

Friend in Conservation
Dear IDEA members,'
I am sad to say we have lost yet another friend in conservation this week. At the close of the IASCD meeting on Saturday, Wayne Newbill has resigned his position as the IASCD Executive Director with the IASCD effective Saturday. I am pleased that he will continue on One Plan but I think we have lost a very, very good friend and partner. Wayne has alwasy been in our corner.
Wayne came to us with very, very big shoes to fill from Kent Foster. He has done this very well. I for one have called him for a resource when there was no where else to turn for assistance. He has kept us moving and informed over the past year.
I wish Wayne all the luck in the world on his future work and I did let him know he will be sorely missed by Districts and District Employees. This has been a year of great loss of our friends and partners that have been with us for many, many years. And as much as I will miss Wayne and the other partners that have left the organization this year, I hope district employees will take this opportunity to pause and decide how to take full responsibility for the very, very important work we do. This is just one more set back and we need to take it in stride and keep up the good work.
I personally would like to thank Wayne for his efforts and hope if you have a way to do this that you also send Wayne a note of thanks! His stength, honesty and support of Districts has been a asset to us all!
More than ever, we need to work together as District and District Employees. WE CAN DO IT. It just takes a lot of determination. You already have the knowledge! We need to work together to a common goal. To strengthen Districts!
I will be sending out a report of the IASCD meeting as soon as I have the time to compile it. Take care! and keep up the good work!
