Message from the OACRAO President
Allen Cole, Xavier University

I invite each of you to join me and attend the annual OACRAO Conference to be held in downtown Dayton this November 5-7, 2003. Please plan to come and participate so as to meet your colleagues, gather insights, share your knowledge, and keep OACRAO strong and vibrant. Each of us has something special to contribute to the conference and to OACRAO as it evolves in this 21st century.

In addition to the specific enrollment areas of our profession, there is much to celebrate this year:

77 years of OACRAO as our state professional association
93 years of AACRAO as our national professional association
100 years of flight as the Wright brothers began their work in Dayton
200 years of Ohio joining the union as a state.

So, please join the “flight” that is called OACRAO Conference 2003. LAC has the plans and destination set with a great location and wonderful events, including an aviation related special outing planned for Thursday evening. The Program Committee has all the in-flight activities scheduled and ready for your consumption. The Executive Committee and the operational committees are in the control tower and the flight is cleared for take-off. Come fly with us!
