NATD NEWS UPDATE
Fall, 1984
This summer has been a busy one for NATD members. Peter Wolmut has been working diligently preparing for next year’s program in Chicago. He has been in touch with many of us about his plans. Committees have been formed and many are already deep in plans for organization and to establish the directions the committee will take. It is hoped that all those who volunteered or were invited to serve will do so. Our goal is to present professionally sound and informative symposia. Plans are also underway for our business meeting and the election of officers for 1985-86.
NCME has proposed/offered some sort of formal affiliation between the two organizations. Our officers and Board members are reviewing the implications of such an agreement. I have been invited to attend the N..C.M.E. Board meeting in October. At that time our proposal for affiliation will be presented. George F. Madaus, NCME President, will meet with the NATD Board in Chicago to present their response to our proposal. We are strongly convinced of the need for NATD to retain its identity and integrity. We will keep you posted of our progress in this project. Our membership will need to react prior to any official action on our part.
Janie Hall has expressed some very creative ideas about our Newsletter. Be watching for the next edition which should be written in the near future,
Our new directory is enclosed with this issue of the News Update. Thanks to all of you who repsonded to out request for directory information. It is still not too late to send in your information if you have not yet done so. We would like to remove the names of those who are no longer interested in our mailings. We will try to include changes in people or addresses in an addendum.
Riverside Publishing Company has already completed the preliminary plans for our annual banquet in Chicago. From what I’ve heard, it will be another elegant evening.
National Computer Systems (NCS) has purchased the scoring center in Iowa City. The center serves several publishing houses.
Personal Notes: Roger Baglins’s father died in mid-July. We had our first grandchildren—twin boys –on August 13.
