<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I just wanted to send out a notice that the early bird registration deadline for the upcoming Society of Research Administrators (SRA) Southern/Northeast meeting
is fast approaching. The conference will be April 26 – April 29 in Charleston, SC.
<b>Early bird registration ends on March 19<sup>th</sup></b> (pre-registration ends April 10<sup>th</sup>). There is a CRA review session scheduled the day before (April 25<sup>th</sup>) and several workshops are scheduled prior to the conference on April 26<sup>th</sup>
for those seeking additional education or who want to pursue an SRA certificate program.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">While Oklahoma is in the Southern Section I do realize Charleston is a distance to travel. If this is an issue but you want to get some training or do some
networking you could attend the Midwest/Western Section Meeting March 29 to April 1 in Kansas City MO.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
