President's Message

By Linda Waters

As this year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to thank you for your involvement in CLEAR and let you know of some of the exciting initiatives that are underway for 2006. In the days following CLEAR’s 25th anniversary conference in Phoenix, work had already begun on the content for the 2006 meeting to be held September 14- 16 in Alexandria, Virginia.  Given the tumultuous events that have occurred in the past year, it is appropriate that we examine what role CLEAR should have when unanticipated events occur.  Our theme for the 2006 Annual Conference will be “Expect the Unexpected: Are We Clearly Prepared?” CLEAR continues to welcome session proposals by January 3 for online submissions or January 12 for on-site submissions at the mid-year meeting.     Article continued.
