<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I hope everyone is enjoying the weather and getting ready for a relaxing Fall Break (or had one depending on your respective calendars)! For those of you who
attended the OACRAO Annual Conference a couple of weeks ago, I hope you enjoyed your overall experience! Perhaps some of you came away REALLY impressed with one of the sessions, and if so, please take a look at the information below! If you feel there was
a session that would help inform our colleagues at the AACRAO conference (while getting some good publicity for OACRAO!), I highly recommend taking the time to complete the nomination form below.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">In the meantime, there’s still time to complete the session and conference evaluation forms at our website (<a href="http://www.oacrao.org/">http://www.oacrao.org/</a>)
if you haven’t done so already. These GREATLY help the Executive Committee improve upon the sessions, formats, and overall structure while planning for next year and beyond. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the remainder of your week!
