Hi Mike,
Being at the AADE convention is probably a good idea but my question is 
how
is it being paid for?

Regards,
Ed Bryant

Everett:

AS a Federal employee, I am deathly allergic to mission statements,
statements of goals and objectives and other such bureaucratic detritis
that serve more to inflate egos than they do to actually make systematic
plans for the future.

Later in the week, I will summarize my remarks at the DAN Seminar and
say where I think we should go from here. But the DAN Board will want to
weigh in on this also before anything official is done. I have a number
of ideas for possible projects and even simple publications but I would
rather bring these before the DAN Board before I say more.

So expect something later in the week.

Mike

Hello Mike, and all,

It was great getting to be in Detroit, and be in on the Diabetes Action
Network seminar.  It was my first national convention in a handful of
years.
It's helped to re-inspire me in some great ways.  And so I'm trying to
"catch-up" and I'm asking, where do we go from here, Sir?

If there was any sort of division or convention wrap-up sent out
already, I
apologize.  I might've missed it.  And I did miss the beginning of the
seminar at the convention.  So to get a little more up-to-speed, I'm
asking
here, publicly, what are our goals and wishes and dreams for the
division,
now that we're apparently not going to have the Voice of the Diabetic as
our
main tool anymore?

What should and could the members do, to help this division thrive?  Do
we
have specific dreams, goals, tasks, that we hope to achieve as a
division?
If so, when you are able to, could you please share them?


Strive On!
Everett
