MTAS Retreat - We've scheduled the annual MTAS retreat for September 29, 30, and October 1. Don is chairing our retreat committee of Frances, Nancy, and Ray. I've asked them to schedule a field trip to the state Fire Service and Codes Enforcement Academy. We will be staying at Henry Horton State Park or in a motel in Shelbyville or Murfreesboro. I know this is just two weeks after the IPS retreat, but it seems the best time to schedule a retreat. The retreat committee will be working with you to schedule other events and sessions during the retreat.

WELCOME - We want to welcome Jessica Woudsma to the Nashville office. Jessica has been working part time with a temporary agency in our Nashville office for several months. As of Monday she is a full time MTAS employee with the title of Administrative Support Assistant II. Jessica has an Associate degree from Nebraska Christian College in Norfolk, NE. Her work experience includes lots of office work along with time as shift supervisor with Starbucks.

Professional Development Plan - Remember to make your entries by next Monday (May 17). Thanks.
