Hello again,

Now that I have officially changed jobs and have gotten settled (sort of) I
decided to re-join the discussion group.  I am looking forward to continuing
to communicate with all of you about the issues, problems, etc. that we
research administrator's face every day.

I would be remiss in my duties as Co-Chair for the SRA Annual Meeting, if I
didn't tell you that we will all have an opportunity to meet at the SRA
meeting in Chicago, October 7-11.  The program was sent to SRA members and
to individuals in other professional societies arounf the beginning of the
month.  The program consists of 23 workshops of either full or half-day
length and 84 sessions.  There are topics of interest for all research
administrators from novice to experienced senior personnel and across the
spectrum of work enviironments - university, hospital, non-profit,
government, and industry. I encourage each of you to attend!

For copies of the program or for more information, please call the SRA
headquarters at 202-857-1141 or contact ms. Joan Letchworth via e-mail at
xxxxxx@sba.com.  And of course, you can contact me directly at the
address and phone numbers below.

See you all in Chicago.

Phil -
