• NAA Deadlines Approaching
• National Convention Delegate & Proxy Information
• Review New Badge & Proposed New Membership Recognition Pin On-Line

1. National Alumni Association Deadlines!

There are two important deadlines coming up for NAA Members and Associations. Please take note: May 1 is the dead line for Local Alumni Associations to have their reports into headquarters. May 1 is also the start of the new year for NAA members so don't forget to turn in your renewal. On behalf of the Staff who will shortly be inundated with National Convention administration/registration/final planning, please take care of these items as soon as is possible.

The NAA has made some great strides this past year with membership approaching nearly 500 members. The NAA has some excellent programs and projects designed to promote and support KKPsi & TBS, and especially the Active members of the Fraternity & Sorority. Congratulations and thanks to all who "Continue to Serve"! Bravo!

2. Attention All Chapters!
by Dixie Mosier-Greene, National Headquarters Administrator

Chapter Presidents -- be sure to send in your Chapter Delegate Form. This way your delegate has the best chance of being assigned to his/her preferred committee. This form is needed in advance for the National Presidents to make assignments.

Almost all chapters will send a delegate to the National Convention, BUT sometimes the best plans don't work out. For that reason, each chapter must submit a proxy form to the National Headquarters just in case! This way your chapter is able to have some say in which chapter will be seated as your proxy. If you don't do it, you allow someone else to select your representative!

3. Check Out New Organizational Badges & Preview Proposed Rec Pins ON-LINE
by Mike McMurtrey, National Publications Manager

Two new pages to our web site: one showing the new wire embroidered crests and another showing the proposed new Membership Recognition Pins. These can be reached from links on the "merchandise" page (http://www.kkytbs.org/merchandise.htm).

The new Membership Recognition Pins will be considered for approval this summer at National Convention, so let your delegates know how you feel about these new designs.
