February 2010

New year, new look aliaNEWS!

We hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and are looking forward to another full and exciting year.

We've changed the look of aliaNEWS to coincide with what you, our members, told us you wanted.
You'll find it split into sections, shorter, snappier, but still packed full of all the information you need about ALIA,
conferences, events, PD, and more.

We have new and exciting developments that we'll be adding as the year progresses, so make sure to check out the new aliaNEWS every month! Let's get started.
