Alliance Day

Alliance Day was a great success.  Our booth at convention received a great deal of attention from prospective members.  The service project was quickly completed.  Our new board was installed by our National President Anne Morrison.  Thank you to Sharon Wiest who has done an outstanding job as President and congratulations to Margaret Tribe and our new board.

Just a few dates for you to keep in mind:  February 20th is our annual Utah Alliance day luncheon.  Reservations can be made through Sharon Wiest or Margaret Tribe.  March 25th-28th is our national Leadership Conference in Baltimore Maryland.  Information about this can be found at allianceada.org.  The most recent "Key" edition can also be accessed at the same website. The ADA Convention will be held in Honolulu, HI this year on Oct. 1-5. 

Please watch for the information on changes to our AUDA constitution.  We will be voting on the changes at our state alliance luncheon on February 20th.  Hope you are all planning on attending the luncheon which is held during the UDA Convention.  We will have the installation of next years AUDA board at this time.  Many Thanks to Sharon Wiest and her board for their dedication and hard work this year.

Pictures from San Antonio Conference

At our last AUDA Board meeting we decided to set up a blog to possibly replace our website.  So here goes.  I thought I would post some pictures of the ADA meeting in San Antonio and some pictures from the Conference that was held at the same time for the Alliance.  The weather was great down there and we all enjoyed the River Walk very much.  Our hotel was right on the River Walk and we just came out the back of the hotel and were right there.  Many of us took advantage of the boat ride along the river.  The distinguished speakers were outstanding.  Friday morning we heard Tom Brocaw and Saturday it was Bob Woodward and his wife (the journalist severely injured in Iraq).  They held a rodeo and dinner one evening that was very fun too.  The Alliance was not to be out done.  Our own Janette Sonnenberg was the outgoing AADA President.  She and Brent hosted a wonderful reception in their suite in the hotel.  Janette has done an outstanding job as President and has been a great represenitive of our state.  We can all be proud of her.  Our new President is Anne Morrison of Nebraska and she was installed just after the House of Delegates session.  The Nebraska Alliance put on a reception for Anne and later that evening was the Presidents Gala where we honored both Anne and Janette.
