Summons Fall 2016 | Page 3

Melissa Hamilton, ACP

WDALA President

I feel awful that I did not check the qualifications closer and verify this requirement. It was a painful reminder to remember to slow down, double check the requirements, and be sure that they are met. I apologize to the Committee - Co-Chairs, Mary Sue Knutson, CLA, and Afton Basden, CP, members Lorelee Clay, Becky Hillerud, Debi Osterby, Donna Seright, and Mitzi Sundheim and to the WDALA membership for this error.

I find it hard to believe that it has been almost a year that since I took over as WDALA President. I am honored to serve and to be considered for another term. Thank you to the members that have agreed to have their name listed as a candidate for office. I challenge you to consider volunteering for a committee – there will be a number to fill - we are always looking for help.

Please look through this issue of the Summons and review the materials for the upcoming Annual Meeting. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to seeing you in Bismarck in September!
