TO: Advising Administration Commission Members
FROM: Linda Chalmers, Chair

Dear Commission Members:

At the NACADA commission meeting in October 2004, the members attending endorsed the suggestion that we bring back to life a portion of our former commission newsletter. That newsletter, originally authored by member and former chair, Susan Campbell, had a section on “best practices” of administrators. Seeing that we all have busy work and personal lives, we opted to just focus on an “administrators’ tip sheet” posted to the commission’s resources web page. For the list of initial administrators’ tips offered on "Avoiding Burn-out", please visit our resources web page at www.nacada.ksu.edu/Commissions/C05/resources.htm.

I hope this will be a source of inspiration and networking as we grow these tips throughout the year. If you would like to contribute a tip, please e-mail me at Linda.Chalmers@utsa.edu or fax your tip to me at 210-458-4303.

Holiday Cheer to you and yours.....

Linda Chalmers
