		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve just been on the job for a month as the new Executive Director of VAAE. We have not yet scheduled a conference, and are talking as an organization about whether we should be re-thinking how we address the goal of sharing resources and providing  professional development. We&#039;re looking at how many districts are keeping professional development as an internal function, thus limiting resources (and attendance) for a conference such as ours. We are wondering if there might be other effective ways to provide what we&#039;ve done in the past through the conference.

If you&#039;d like to let us know your thoughts about this, we will include your comments in our discussions.

Thanks,
Janet Van Fleet]]></description>
