Welcome to NSPA's 2007-2008 term! We have an amazing team of officers in the Southern region this year. They are as follows: Board meetings are held by conference call. If you would like to participate please call Nancy McNaul at 702-612-0740 to be included in the list of participants. We plan to kick off our term with the annual Fall Social. This event will be held on Friday, September 14, 2007 from 6 to 9 p.m. From 6 to 7 p.m. we will be offering one free CEU. The presenters Marta Meana, Ph.D. and Lindsey Ricciaridi, Ph.D., will talk about their research on the psychosocial impact of weight-loss surgery and their new book: Obesity Surgery: Stories of Altered Lives. From 7 to 9 p.m. we will be serving wine and hors d'oeuveres. Please check the home page of the website for information. The southern region also has plans to host additional events that will allow members the chance to meet and get to know one another. Upcoming ideas include a charity drive over the winter holidays, a family friendly event at a local park in the spring, and a summer social at a local restaurant. We will keep our members posted via website, newsletters, and the listserv as we progress. As always, input from our members is welcome and appreciated. Members have opportunities to volunteer for a variety of programs, and your involvement is vital to the success of our organization.
