Hi AMSA Members:

If you are thinking about going to the National Convention in Washington,
DC (March 17-20), please consider applying for the positions listed below
my email--it provides you with a registration fee waiver, which saves over
$115!  These positions take up a minimal amount of time and are a great
experience.  If you have any questions, email me ([log in to unmask]).  Take
note of the deadline for applying for the positions listed below: JANUARY
17.  We will have a meeting next week to go over convention details, but
please take a few minutes to apply to these positions in the meantime
(www.amsa.org/conv/forms.cfm).

Thanks,
Lucie
