Extract

As outgoing President of the AAEA I hold two somewhat contradictory emotions concerning my year in office. The first can be stated simply—thank God it is about to end ! The other is a sense of excitement deriving from opportunities of the Association to better serve its members and society. On the assumption that you are not particularly interested in my frustrations in operating a volunteer organization and coping with the insidious nature of the U.S. Postal Service I shall limit my remarks to what I perceive as opportunities of the AAEA and regional associations to better serve their members and society.
