Spring is not far away! Many of us are looking forward to spending more time outside in the fresh air and to start planting flowers. A good garden needs time, work, and dedication for the long haul.

This is much like our chapter. It takes all of us working together to develop it. It needs help in planting new ideas and tending to it. It needs each of us to dedicate time to stay on track to complete the goals. I encourage you to take risks within IAAP, the rewards are great, and the possibilities are endless! Thank you for being a member of IAAP. Naomi Goll

Greetings fellow IAAP members! The Retirement Trust Foundation is helping our own Admins. Vista Grande is a great retirement facility for those Admins who wish to retire to Rio Rancho, New Mexico. There is also the Housing Subsidy for Admins in Need (HSAN) program for those who live in retirement facilities elsewhere and are within the guidelines of the HSAN program. Once again the deadline to submit an application to receive assistance from the HSAN program is fast approaching. Applications must be received at Headquarters by May 15, 2012. Do you know an Admin who has worked their entire life and now ready to retire is finding it hard to make ends meet? In these economic times many of us are struggling to raise our families, keep our jobs and save for retirement. It’s refreshing to know that an organization like the RTF has successfully raised funds so Admins who find themselves in need of housing assistance have somewhere to turn. Let’s continue our quest in spreading the word about the HSAN program! The RTF has the funds to help. Any takers? Check the RTF website at www.IAAP-RTF.org for the application and qualifying criteria.
Retirement Trust Foundation Committee Service Applications to serve for one-year appointments to the 2012-2013 Retirement Trust Foundation Committee had a deadline of February 1, 2012; however, applications are being accepted for all districts at this time. These positions become effective at the close of International Education Forum and Annual Meeting in Grapevine, TX July 2012. IAAP does not require chapter recommendations and signatures for the Retirement Trust Foundation Committee. Once appointed, all committee members are expected to sign and adhere to the Confidentiality Agreement and Conflict of Interest Statement document. For further information, please contact Retirement Trust Foundation Chairman Kelly Reggio, CAP-OM,
