A Note from Middle States Region VP Bob Alig
Dec. 2011

VP Bob Ali |
Dear Colleagues,
As we head into the new year, the Middle States Regional Council and the Middle States Regional Office are excited to offer you an opportunity to connect with your colleagues throughout the region. The 2012 Middle States Regional Forum will be held Jan. 23–24 in Baltimore. As always, educators from schools and colleges across our region will gather to share ideas and discuss important issues facing education professionals today and in the future.
This year, we’ve focused on making the MSRO Regional Forum a truly member-driven event, with session topics for both experienced and newer professionals from across the education spectrum. Whether you counsel and educate students, or manage enrollment and administer financial aid, you will walk away with new tools and strategies that will make you more effective at your jobs.
We look forward to keynote speaker Wes Moore to set the tone for the conference. Moore, author of The Other Wes Moore, will tell the compelling story of his troubled childhood in Baltimore, where he grew up amid affluent classmates and struggling neighbors. and how the lessons he learned from both are imperative to our national survival.
We hope you’ll join us at the keynote and take part in this energizing and inspiring educational environment. Visit http://middlestatesforum.collegeboard.org/home for up-to-date information, and register by Dec. 31 for early bird rates. Help us reach your colleagues from across the region by encouraging them to attend this important professional development and networking event.
I would also like to congratulate the students who participated in the Siemens Competition Region Four Finals held Nov. 19 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. These young adults inspire us with their commitment and dedication to pursue their passion in the fields of math, science and technology.
See you in January. Until then, have a great holiday season.
Bob
