Message from Sandy Westin, Regional Coordinator in North America

Getting Ready for 2011
 
Each year in November, the Work Plan and Budget for the coming year are put together by the regional Leadership Council and Coordinator.  Once all the Cooperation Circles in our region have had an opportunity to review and comment on it, the Plan is modified as needed and submitted to the global URI office in San Francisco no later than December 10th. The global organization's annual allocation provides the bulk of our operating funds for the coming year.
 
All Primary and Secondary Contacts of our CCs were sent the 2011 Work Plan and Budget on November 17th. They have been asked to review it with others in their Circle and get any input back to me by December 1st so we'll have time to incorporate any changes or additions before submitting it to the global office.   
 
If you have any suggestions for improving it and the scope of services being provided by the regional organization and Leadership Council, feel free to chime in.  You can contact me by email or phone as noted below, or you might consider joining one of the Leadership Council's work teams or committees that will be putting this plan into motion.  
 
Over the past three years we've developed a good foundation for the new structure of our regional URI organization. In 2011, we're aiming to add walls and windows to that foundation, and move it to where it's throwing a shadow on the ground.  We're doing a lot with a little!
 
May peace may prevail in North America!
