Two New Programs

ABANA is pleased to announce two new programs. An announcement of these programs is being sent to all affiliates at the same time as this ABANA Affiliate Letter. Inquire about these programs with your affiliate president and ask the president to discuss them with your board of directors. These documents are posted on the Affiliate Section of the ABANA website http://abana.org/affiliates/affiliates.html

A Program To Share Successful Affiliate Activities.
This program asks for participating affiliates to describe an aspect of their program that is working well. This statement is sent to Bob Fredell, then rewritten in a form consistent with other write-ups and finally sent to all affiliates. The nice thing about this program is that all affiliates may benefit from the successful experience of other affiliates. Idea sharing can be one of the most valuable services provided by ABANA.

A Program To Enhance ABANA-Affiliate Communication.
This program establishes a structure of two-way communication between ABANA members and the ABANA Board. Affiliates are asked to contact Bob Jacoby, via US Mail or e-mail (bobjacoby@abana.org), to participate. The path of two-way communication is another valuable service provided by ABANA.
