Region News 4/27/10

April has been a very busy month for all. Hope everyone's Easter was wonderful. The Texas roadways have been blooming with Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush. Wish I could share the beauty found here in Texas with you. We Texans tend to think our state is the best in this great nation of ours, more so then other states. We advertise our pride in our home state with our mottos, “The Lone Star State”, “Don't Mess with Texas”,  and “Texas Proud”. A Texas flag sticker or magnet is required on all native Texan's vehicles. I'll show my age with a reminder about  the 1960's campaign “Keep America Beautiful”. Led by Lady Byrd Johnson, Texas started spreading wildflower seeds on the roadways and byways, making the state more beautiful.  Mrs. Johnson honestly thought Texas was the best place to live.

Personal and professional pride in health unit coordinating is one thing we all share as members of NAHUC.  We, your Board of Directors, have been working on the re-alignment and restructuring of the board duties. Information will be published In the next issue of the Coordinator and the proposed by-law changes and new job descriptions will be posted on the NAHUC Web site for all to view.  The board encourages all to read and share comments.

The May 14th Region 3 Workshop in Plano is slowly filling up. The workshop is a great opportunity to earn NAHUC contact hours and network.  A summer vacation in Denver, CO the week of August 4-7 is another wonderful way to acquire NAHUC contact hours for recertification and professional growth.

With all the activity going on,  I'd like to express a special “Thank You” is going out to all new and renewing members listed below. With added gratitude to Juliet Amabebe from Katy, TX, Cynthia Saunders of San Antonio, TX, and Damarys Pellot from Maywood, IL who all asked for more information about NAHUC.

Wishing all a Happy Mother's Day!!!
