The SSHBEA Office is always making an effort to better serve the SSHBEA Members. We are currently revising a few items and this is making the SSHBEA Office run behind in some areas of work, but in the long run it will make the turn around time go faster!

1. We are starting to issue a NEW different Certificate of Registration. Beginning February 2002 the certificates will be 81/2 X 11 instead of the larger certificate.

2. We will generate a new type of membership card that will have the member name and I.D. numbers on them. We will not have all membership cards completed until probably around the first of March.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that at the end of December and the first of a year we have so many people rejoining that it takes a little time to get all memberships activated. When you are sending in information to be processed to the SSHBEA, you need to allow time for it to go through the mail systems and to be processed through the SSHBEA Office.

Thank You,

Janice Prince

Executive Secretary
