Dear AAO Membership,

As initially reported in October 2007, the Board of Directors has been 
conducting an administrative review under the leadership of Vice President 
Marc Lerman.  Part 1 of this administrative review report has now been 
completed and is attached to this e-mail for your perusal.  Part 1 provides 
a summary of the review objectives and project outcomes as well as general 
recommendations and project tasks.  Part 2 of the report will include more 
details regarding the findings of the administrative review.  Part 2 will be 
made available to the membership by the end of the month.  The Board of 
Directors is holding a meeting on November 30, 2007 at which time it will 
take the findings and recommendations from the report and create a 
short-term strategic plan along with a set of goals. If you have any 
questions, please contact Anne Hepplewhite, President ([log in to unmask]) or

Yours truly,

The AAO Board of Directors
