The time for us as an organization of professionals to pull together and unify for the enhancement of our members is more than apparent.  Do you realize all the new initiatives and changes that have been implemented since the beginning of this school year and the added responsibilities and demands placed on you?  Just recently, I reflected upon these changes and I hope you will too.  When I took the time to reflect and list the major initiatives of this school year that have had an effect on my position as Principal, I had a list of  fourteen (14).  These are added demands and responsibilities being placed on you above and beyond your daily undertakings.  Although, I know all of you will embrace these challenges and do what we always do, please remember you are not alone; seek out your colleagues and your Association to help you through any adversity.  Now is the time for us to strengthen our resolve and begin to communicate.  This communication process should be ongoing to gather information, ideas, and strategies to improve upon ways to protect ourselves and our jobs and also find ways to enhance our working environment.  Your input is invaluable.  If you need to correspond with the Association via email, our email address is (asasp@asasp.org).  I ask all of you to keep us informed and to give us your input so that we can assist.

We have developed this website to provide our members messages from the President, updates, information and hopefully correspondences from other members.  It is in its formative stage and we encourage your input.

In closing, I wish to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve as your President.  I am looking forward to meeting the challenges of this position and I assure you that I will strive to enhance the effectiveness of our Union and to support each and every one of you.  As we endure these challenging times, let us pull together as one voice and stand strong as a united Union.  Remember, the Union is only as strong as your involvement and commitment. As President, I challenge all members to become active participants in the Association.  As professionals, let us pull together.
