My thanks to Rob Grumbles (Mohave) County and Buddy Borden (University of
Nevada stationed in Las Vegas) for continuing their work and initiating a
new economic study on the Bullhead/Laughlin area. Over 20 elected officials,
community development coordinators, Chamber of Commerce directors and Human
Resource people attended a meeting yesterday at the Power Generating Plant
(scheduled for closure) in Laughlin.
Congratulations to Cathy Cromell, Maricopa County, Editor/Master Gardener
Press who was recently selected as the 2005 Outstanding Arizona Book
Publishers Association Member.
Billye Foster, Ruth Jackson and I participated in the 2005 National
Diversity Conference in Greensboro, North Carolina. We gathered some ideas,
tools and understanding particularly related to "respect in the work place"
and building successful programs.
Please mark your calendar for this year's CALS Faculty Conference which will
be held at the Westin La Paloma from August 23-25, 2005. This year's theme
is "Bridging Science and Society." Registration and a tentative schedule
will be available on-line in the next few weeks.
