Dear EIFA Members,


Happy New Year to you! As we look forward to this new year, we are happy to have with us several new Board members. Our newly elected Board members include Maureen Casey from Arizona, Paula Connolly from Iowa, and Dan Dinnell from Nevada. We are excited about the breadth of early intervention experience and leadership they bring to our organization.   
 
At the same time, we would like to take a moment to recognize Darla Gundler from Massachusetts, Leah Esther Lax from New York, and Mark Smith from Nebraska as they transition off the EIFA Board.  All three are founding members of the EIFA, and have committed significant time and energy to not only establishing EIFA, but helping it to stay true to its mission of supporting family leaders as they seek to improve outcomes for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. We will miss them on the Board, but know that they will continue their important leadership work in their communities, their states, and in national activities, including with EIFA. 
 
Later this month, the new Board will convene to elect officers, review accomplishments in the last year, and define priorities for the upcoming year. On January 25, 2013 we invite you to join us for our Annual Membership Webinar--we'll send out a link and call-in number. We look forward to continuing EIFA's work, and to your participation in these important efforts. Thank you for everything you do for young children with disabilities and their families in your own communities and states!

Sincerely,

Nancy

2012 President
