Message from the President

July 13, 2008

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Board and myself I would like to thank all those who participated in this years Summer Conference and Trade Show held at the High Country Convention Center in Flagstaff, Arizona. With this being our first year at this new venue we were a little apprehensive but from all accounts everyone seemed to have a good time. The staff was very accommodating and the facility more than met our needs. The speakers and instruction were exemplary and the Trade Show exceptional. Of course we all were able to get together to collaborate and develop professional friendships. Our membership continues to grow reaching over 300 members. I had several of the national speakers tell me that our members are some the most dedicated transportation professionals they have seen. That speaks volumes of your character and makes me feel very pleased to serve in this capacity. I would encourage that you contact your regional representatives and meet periodically in the spirit of further collaboration. Working together we can provide the safest student transportation in the state and nation.

Sincerely,

Jay Morris
