SAVE THE DATE: NYS LEGISLATIVE FORUM FEBRUARY 4 -5, 2008 ALBANY NY
Greetings. Please plan on attending the 2008 Legislative Forum in Albany. The 2008 legislative session will likely be an exciting time, with many new initiatives being proposed and debated. The upcoming session will be shaped by such factors as the recommendations from the Governor's Commission on the Future of Higher Education (which will include k12 proposals), the looming budget gap, round 2 of "Contracts for Excellence", the Presidential primary, all 212 Members of the Legislature up for election (with the Senate holding on to a slim 2 seat majority).
Our steering committee of the Legislative Consortium has moved forward with '08 planning that includes a refocusing on school counselor advocacy, access to higher education and advocacy training. Participants in the Legislative Forum recognize and appreciate the training that is conducted at the annual conferences. After 10 years of successes, all ten member associations have many trained advocates to further the noble cause of high quality K 12 and higher education in New York State.
I look forward to communicating further with you during the weeks ahead.
See you in Albany in February if not before!

Top Ten Reasons for Being in Admissions:
10. Big Bucks!
9. Enjoy being told by a prospective student that you have a specific major, because they know someone, who knows someone, that went to your school and was in that major you later find out they are thinking about another school.
8. Enjoy listening to parents tell stories about their kid's academic prowess, great athleticism, 300 extra curricular activities, etc, only to find out s/he has a 1.6 GPA.
7. Enjoy being in a caravan of 50 cars that have to do an illegal U-turn in the middle of a major intersection because the leader “knows” where they are going.
6. Big corporate bribes for relaxed Admissions standards!
5. Enjoy driving 1 hour for a 30- minute college day program only to see 3 students.
4. Enjoy explaining in-depth about your colleges programs only to have, at the end, the student say that s/he's at the wrong school's table.
3. Great dinners at college fairs that consist of fruit and cookies.
2. When working for a large school, being asked if you know their friend.
1. It's better than being in Financial Aid!
