Do we have your current address?
In early May, you will receive a package of background materials to help you prepare for the Leadership Retreat. Please take a few moments now to update your preferred mailing address. To update this information, visit www.aiga.org/memberprofilehome no later than Friday, May 2.

Learn, listen, relax and socialize at retreat lunches!
We will reserve several tables for 8–10 people at nearby restaurants to give attendees more informal ways to meet each other and discuss relevant issues. To participate in a lunch, you must sign up at the registration desk. At sign-up, we will ask someone to volunteer as the moderator, to keep the conversation moving and focused and we’ll also look for someone to act as note-taker, so the conversation can be recorded and made available post-retreat. On the sign-up sheet, you can also indicate a relevant issue, question or comment to be covered during the lunch. The moderator will ensure your comment is addressed. Space is limited.

Current lunch topics are:
Center for Practice Management
Fundraising and grant-writing
Advisory boards
Cross-cultural design
Websites: editorial content
K–12 programming
Planning a conference
Membership
Sponsorship
Programming
Student groups
New chapters
New presidents
Lunch with a national board member (Saturday only. Sign up for lunch with a specific board member at the retreat.)
“Just lunch” (For those who want to have lunch with a group; no moderator or note-taker needed.)

If you would like to volunteer as a moderator or note-taker or have an additional lunch topic suggestion (e.g., Southwest chapters, event brainstorming, etc.) please send an email to Michelle Stanek by Friday, May 16.

See you in Omaha in just over four weeks!
