I want to hear from you, and I'm sure other Board members feel the same.

I hope everyone who is an ARMA member is listening when Judy says this. I'd 
like to recommend to ALL OF YOU to contact your Board members by phone, 
e-mail or to feel comfortable to approach them at the Conference or when you 
might see them at a Chapter Meeting. The Board, over the past 3-4 years, has 
been the most approachable, concerned and involved it's ever been... while 
participation in elections hasn't been as great as it SHOULD BE, if you look 
at the numbers, you'll see it's always been close and that means people are 
listening to the issues and paying attention to the positions the candidates 
take.

The contact information is available on the ARMA home page under 
directories... don't feel uncomfortable to contact these folks, even if it's 
just to say hi and introduce yourself. They don't profess to have all the 
answers, but most of the time, if they don't... they know someone who DOES 
and they won't hesitate to put you in touch with them. They can't solve all 
of your problems or issues with the Association, but they're WILLING TO 
LISTEN... and if the issues are common among enough members, they'll raise 
them in a Board Call or Meeting.

GET INVOLVED... it's OUR Association!!
