ANNUAL DINING-IN POSTPONED UNTIL SPRING
Last issue we raised the possibility of reviving the former tradition of an annual FAO
Dining-In in the Washington area in the Fall. We looked at dates in late September or early
October, but our preferred choices for guest speaker are all actively involved in this Fall's
presidential campaign. Rather than fight the tide, we elected to wait and will try again in the
Spring.
NEW LOGO STILL NEEDED
C'MON FOLKS--I NEED SOMEONE WITH GRAPHIC DESIGN SKILLS! I've asked
twice now for help in designing a new Association logo to more accurately reflect the emerging
jointness of our membership. Still no responses. Help me out and you'll receive a free three
year subscription if your design is adopted by the Board of Governors.
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE, MARK!
Pressing professional obligations have caused Mark Beto, a long time Board of Governors
member to resign from the Board. We're sorry to see Mark depart, but understand the need to
reduce his workload and thank him for his service to the Association. In our next issue we will
announce the Board of Governors' selection to replace him.
BOOK REVIEWERS NEEDED
All members are encouraged to contribute to our regional book reviews columns. There
seems to be the perception in the field that the regular editors are responsible for all content
contained in their columns. NOT TRUE! Anyone can contribute and I encourage everyone to do
so--particularly those of you in graduate school or other professional military education courses.
If you read a good book, share it with us. Just send your input directly to the column editor or to
the FAOA e-mail address and it will be forwarded promptly. We would especially welcome
permanent columnists for Africa and South Asia/Southeast Asia.
