strives to be continual learners in order to improve on what we do and how we do it. This week’s newsletter is a perfect example of that. As you will hopefully have noticed immediately, the newsletter’s appearance is very different from those in the past
as it includes a much better balance of graphics and text. In addition, we are going to be grouping articles on like topics together for your convenience and have abbreviated the text information for items so you can click through if you are interested or
easily scroll through if you are not. We have included our tagline at the top along with our web address and have also made our logo clickable to access the website. We know that many of you rely on the newsletter to provide information on the learning opportunities
available and we want it to be useful and easy to use for everyone. A huge thank you and credit for the redesign goes to the members of our
<a href="http://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=37028723&nr=5053245851">Ad Hoc Marketing/PR Committee
</a>for all of their insightful suggestions and their collective expertise! We couldn’t have done it without them and will continue to rely on them for further improvements. If you have suggestions regarding the newsletter,
<a href="http://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=37029945&nr=5053245851">let me know </a>
. If you would like to be part of the team that provides ideas to help NEO-RLS evolve and grow in service to its members,
<a href="http://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=37029945&nr=5053245851">let me know </a>
