Greetings NASJE Colleagues!

2010 promises to be a tremendous year with significant benefits to all NASJE members and our organization. The following is a summary of some of the highlights. Please take full advantage of your membership and participate. NASJE will

• Conduct our 1st “Virtual NASJE Member Conference” with the use of web-conferencing on January 29th, 12:00 pm (Pacific), 1:00 pm (Central) or 3:00 pm (Eastern). Register online now for this 2-hour conference.

• Continue efforts to give states cost savings via the availability and exchange of resources among states and within regions.

• Develop a NASJE curriculum for judicial branch educators based on our core competencies to be used for future NASJE conferences and for state educational programs.

• Create an automated curriculum builder as a planning tool available at no charge to NASJE members.

• Explore the viability of internet-based professional networking through web-based meeting services like WebCT, and schedule webinars for our members.

• Make JERITT monographs available to members via the NASJE website.

• Plan our 35th annual conference, which will take place in San Antonio, Texas from August 8-11, 2010.

• Coordinate planning with NACM for our joint NACM/NASJE conference in 2011.

• Expand NASJE’s membership and diversify our financial foundation.

• Fulfill the many goals and engage in the activities of NASJE’s twelve standing and non-standing committees.

Though the temperatures dip and rise, my hope is that your spirits will remain cheerful through the new year. It remains an honor to serve as your president and I admire the contributions and devotion of our fine Board of Directors, Committee Chairs, members, and all of you who choose NASJE as one of the places where you make a difference.

Warm regards,
M. Christy Tull
NASJE President
