ARTICLES IN THIS ISSUE

Staff Changes in ACR Chapter Relations

Merry-Lynn Sheetz has resigned from her position at the ACR. Please direct any inquiries regarding chapter officers and councilors or invoices for member-in-training sponsorship to Trina Zeberlein at tzeberlein@acr.org.

Please Note: ACR Staff E-mail Addresses Have Changed

The naming convention previously used for ACR staff e-mail addresses has changed. E-mail addresses now use the first initial of an individual's first name and their entire last name. For example, Trina Zeberlein has an e-mail address of tzeberlein@acr.org. Please be aware of this change when communicating with ACR staff and update your address book accordingly to reflect the new e-mail address of the person who is writing you.

If you have any questions about this change, please contact Trina Zeberlein at tzeberlein@acr.org

Reminder: Invoices Have Been Sent for Members in Training Sponsored to Attend the AMCLC

Those chapters who worked with the ACR to cosponsor members in training to attend the recent AMCLC should have received an invoice for their portion of the funds. Invoices were sent to chapter presidents, treasurers, or secretary/treasurers and the person designated as the money recipient for the chapter. Please submit your chapter's contribution directly to the ACR Office of Chapter and Volunteer Development, to the attention of Trina Zeberlein. Payment by August 15 is appreciated. Contact Trina at tzeberlein@acr.org or at (800) 227-5463, ext 4998, with any questions regarding your invoice.

List of Members Who Have Not Paid 2005 Dues Sent to Chapters

The Membership Department has sent each chapter a list of its members who have not paid their 2005 ACR or chapter dues. We encourage your chapter to take advantage of this opportunity to engage in a membership retention effort by contacting those members and encouraging them to pay their dues. Doing so not only contributes to the continued success of the College and your chapter, but also gives your chapter the opportunity to earn points towards a membership award in the Chapter Recognition Program.

For an updated list of the members in your chapter that have not paid their dues, please contact Barbara Quattrone at bquattrone@acr.org.

If you'd like more information on the Chapter Recognition Program, contact Trina Zeberlein at tzeberlein@acr.org or (800) 227-5463, ext 4998.
