Dear NASJE Colleagues:

Happy New Year! I hope this new year brings all of you new adventures and new successes! Your NASJE has also been busy and will continue to be busy in the new year. Most importantly, the Education Committee is busy building the agenda for the 33rd Annual Conference which will be in the City of Brotherly Love – Philadelphia – on August 10-13, 2008. I hope to see you all there!

I also wanted to take a minute to let you know about some other developments within the committees of NASJE. Diane Cowdrey, Ph.D., Education Director in Utah, is the new chair of the Membership Committee and her task is to re-constitute the committee to have it serve you as members. The previous committee primarily served as an administrative committee where it reviewed and processed new memberships. The National Center for State Courts has agreed to handle that administrative function. Now the committee can focus on ways to better serve you as members.

Liz Strong, Staff Development Administrator in Colorado, is currently serving as NASJE’s representative on the National Association of Court Manager’s sub-committee to create a mini-guide on succession planning. The committee plans to complete the guide by June 2008.

I attended the Conference of State Court Administrator’s meeting in November 2007. It was my first COSCA meeting and I learned a lot about the organization and the work of court administrators throughout the country. One of the more interesting educational sessions was about private vs. public court records and how different states are handling this issue. COSCA also approved its white paper on court interpretation which I anticipate it will be making available shortly.

The NASJE Board will be meeting on February 1-2, 2008. If you have anything that you would like us to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact me. My email address is wosje@judges.org.
