I don't know if anyone has posted this here, but if it was, sorry for the repost.

AFA has a new Health Affairs Director. Chris Palaski resigned in August and Cindy Sooy has taken over the reigns. Chris did a lot of work for the organization and we are sorry to see him go. Cindy has worked with the organization on health matters (among other things) for many years and we welcome her as the new director.

That said, AFA is in the initial stages for our next Veterinary Symposium. As the organization's director of shows and special events, I have requested that the initial work start one year prior to the event. We would like to hold the symposium in the fall of 2003. The symposium will also be somewhere in the greater Washington DC/Baltimore area.

I know there are a lot of vets on this list and I would like to tap this wealth of knowledge to help with the preparation of our symposium agenda. Also if there are any vets who would be interested and has the time to be our chairperson, please contact the AFA at afa@ferret.org and let us know who you are. Bruce Williams was our chair last time and he did an excellent job (thanks again Bruce!). We want the next symposium to be our best yet and can only make it that way if we hear from you, the ferret veterinary community.

I think that's enough for now. Cindy and I can be reached through our website or use afa@ferret.org and your emails will be forwarded to us.

Thanks!
