A Note from New England Region VP Mike Bartini

 Mike Bartini |
The New England Regional Office continues to be busy this spring as we prepare for the end of the academic year and for next year’s events and programs. Over the past few weeks, several of NERO’s regional committees have convened. The region’s Academic Division and Financial Aid Division advisory committees met to discuss issues that are central to education. The New England Regional Council will soon meet to discuss this fall’s call for nominations and the upcoming Greenhouse Grant, among other topics of importance to our members and our region.
In addition, the 2010 Regional Forum Program Planning Committee’s meetings in April and May have kicked off what promises to be a great program for February 2010. Committee members continue to discuss topics of importance to New England educators related to guidance and admissions, financial aid, community colleges, K-12, higher education and the P-16 continuum. The Program Planning Committee welcomes additional input; you are encouraged to submit your own session proposal and join the conversation for next year’s meeting. Additional information can be found at www.collegeboard.com/neforum, which will be regularly updated with details about the 2010 New England Regional Forum.
We appreciate and encourage your participation at College Board events and programs, and look forward to our continued work together at the end of this academic year and beyond.
