font-family:Calibri'>All, hopefully by now you have had time to check out the
tentative agenda for the Spring OASFAA conference. You will notice that
we are having our traditional sector meetings on Thursday afternoon.
Please keep in mind that this is your opportunity to discuss any number of
issues with schools similar to yours. While the moderators are asked to keep
the discussion in the meetings going, you are encouraged to do the same. They
do not typically prepare an agenda, as the discussion is seen as a group
effort. If you feel you have an issue to bring up—to find out if
other schools encounter a similar issue, how they handle it, how they
anticipate handling it, etc—please do so. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

setting, please feel free to email your topic suggestion(s) to the moderator of
your sector meeting. They can bring forth the topic and solicit discussion.
