Via Jessyca Wilcox<\/strong>, one of JETAA USA’s three Country Representatives, sent to JETAA USA chapter delegates:<\/em><\/p>\n

Hello Everyone!<\/p>\n

I wanted to let you all know that between JETAA DC<\/strong><\/a> President Maurice “Mac” Maloney<\/strong> (mostly Mac!) and myself, we’ve managed to collect and post all the presentations and handouts that are available from the conference on the jetaausa.com<\/a> website. If we could get our hands on it, it’s posted up there!<\/p>\n

We’ve basically posted the schedule\/ agenda from the conference and then linked uploaded files to each agenda topic appropriately. We hope this will aid delegates’ abilities to share the content of the US Conference with their members and will also help chapter officers that were not able to attend see what was discussed, covered and presented on. You’ll find it under 2011 National Conference > Presentations & Handouts<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I also encourage you all to subscribe to the JETAA USA website. You can do this by subscribing with your email address (meaning you will get updates in your email inbox) or via RSS feed if you use an RSS reader of some sort. This will keep you apprised of all national efforts AND it will keep you all up to date on progress and deadlines in regards to the 2012 Regional Conference in CO.<\/p>\n

Once again- a HUGE thank you and otsukaresama<\/em> to the JETAA DC crew for putting on an excellent conference!<\/p>\n
