>> I would like to get immediate feedback from this list an our members 
>> regarding a name change for the division.  While I attended  the 
>> "Leaders and Ledgers" seminar at the Jernigan Institute, someone 
>> repeatedly referred to the division as the "Health and Human Services 
>> Division".  Since I have received quite a few inquiries from 
>> individuals who are seeking to go into the medical field and there is 
>> currently no division for medical professionals, I thought I would put 
>> the idea out to you all.  It brings more diversity to our division 
>> which we have a great deal of now; however, physical and mental health 
>> (in my opinion) are interconnected on many levels.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Please respond to your thoughts on the name change.  It will mean a 
>> Constitutional  change and I am seeking input before we go further 
>> with the idea.
