Professional Development - Between now and the end of the month, please fill in your professional development activities for FY04. Here's a link to the database. Please be sure to enter fiscal year 2004 for all the activities you enter for next year. After your requests have been approved (or not) you will note a couple of improvements in the database. At the top of the view, you can click on "Attended Class" or "Did Not Attend Class" to fill in that information in the form. You do not need to open the document. This will help keep the database up to date.

Elected Officials Academy II - We conducted a session of EOA level II in Nashville last Friday and Saturday. Thanks to the instructors (Rex, Ray, Sharon, Brett, and David) for giving up a late Friday night or a Saturday. And to Jennifer and Kurt who facilitated the sessions, gave up their whole weekend and managed to get the class to pose in front of the Capitol.
