President’s Message

John Rojas, President, NAPFTDS

Hello NAPFTDS Friends:

I had the privilege to attend Region 1 and 2 meeting in Tucson,Arizona. Aspecial thank you to Missy Blair, her instructional staff and the entire administration at Pima Community College for an outstanding job hosting this year's meeting.

It was nice to visitArizona in January but our buddies from Wisconsin brought their winter weather, so no sun tans to brag about.

Once the meeting concluded, the board held our annual board retreat to work on policies and procedures. I want to thank all our board members for their hard work and dedication.

I hope to see everyone in Asheville North Carolina. Please get your registrations in as soon as possible. NAPFTDS has a terrific agenda you will not want to miss.

By Martin Garsee

Last month I was privileged to go to Tucson for our Region 1 & 2 Regional Meeting hosted by Missy Blair, Pima Community College. Thanks Missy Blair and Pima Community College for a great event! It is always good to see new or long-time members that have not participated in any of our events. There was great networking at this meeting, which is incredible.

NAPFTDS would like to thank our sponsors for all of our regionals. Without them, NAPFTDS could not offer these meetings so that our school members can include their instructors, administrators and staff to learn more about NAPFTDS, networking and what the Association does in helping our members with issues. With sponsorship support, food is provided so their expenses are minimal. This is our way of trying to make it affordable so school members can include more of their instructors and staff to attend. Please remember our sponsors when you see them and thank them. The Association has many Associate members that have been with the Association for a long time, as well as new members. It takes a team effort for NAPFTDS to thrive and be successful.

Hope to see you inAsheville!
