The General Assembly Handbooks will be mailed out to the delegates/alternate delegates in the upcoming week from the ENA National Office. We have e-mailed all the registered delegates/alternate delegates morning that included the link to view the proposed bylaw amendments and resolution. You may have also received this e-mail.

Also, as a reminder, if you know of delegates/alternate delegates that are ONLY attending General Assembly but would like to obtain CECH for the Scientific Assembly sessions offered on Thursday, September 25th, they may register at a special one-day fee of $55.00. They must be a Delegate or Alternate Delegate to be eligible for this rate. Attached is the special registration form for your information. This document was also included in the email sent to them this morning The deadline to pre-register for the special one-day attendance is September 1, 2008. After this date, all registrations will be processed onsite. This registration form is also posted on the ENA Web Site at http://www.ena.org/statecouncils/GeneralAssembly/ This is for those only attending General Assembly and not staying for the rest of the Annual Conference.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Thank you,
Kari Zick
