Subject: CenTex ASPA Website Update

SEASONS GREETINGS!

This message is to notify you of recent changes to the CenTex ASPA Website
at http://www.main.org/aspa .

Here are the highlights for your information and so you can help spread the
word to colleagues:

* Announcement about Dec. 13 holiday networking event -- it's MONDAY
DECEMBER 13, from 5:30 until 7:00 at Vinny's Restaurant, 1003 Barton Springs
Road, Austin.  Bring an unwrapped toy or canned goods for Advocacy, Inc.
See the webpage at http://www.main.org/aspa/new.htm for more details.
Thanks to Amy Miller for organizing.

* Announcements about January 28 general membership meeting and mentoring
mixer.

* Much more on the "Announcements and Activities" section at
http://www.main.org/aspa/new.htm, including some award nomination deadlines
and links.  WHY NOT PRINT THE ANNOUNCEMENT PAGE AND POST IT IN YOUR
BUILDING?

* First Online Summary of a Presentation at the First Texas Conference,
thanks to Brian Pokluda (see http://www.main.org/aspa/pokluda.htm).  If you
presented and want to post a summary or list of links you mentioned, please
send email to the webmaster at rlsd@io.com

* Links at http://www.main.org/aspa/links.htm now include a link to the
State Bar's November 1999 legislative session review in the section entitled
"Selected Syllabi, Online Learning, Continuing Education and Networking
Resources".  Also new there are a link to the brand new online version of
the LBJ Journal and a link to the Governor's Center for Management
Development.  Check these out, and please send suggestions for more useful
links.

Coming soon:  a section on volunteer, scholarship, and unusual
opportunities.  Thanks for contributions so far -- anyone interested in
touring New Zealand as a visiting public administrator? -- and please send
more.

Please let me know if corrections, updates, or additions are needed.  Thanks
and see you Dec. 13!
