ANNUAL REPORT

The Annual Report details the operations of the organization during the previous year. The Annual Report includes information such as the President's Message, minutes of the annual business meeting, annual financial report, award recipient listing, conference program brochure, and a listing of officers, representatives, committees, and members. Although the components of the Annual Report are disseminated separately or made available to the members, the Annual Report is compiled by the SAIR Secretary and is placed in the Association archive.

SAIRMAIL

SAIRMAIL is an electronic message service providing for the timely posting of questions, news items, meeting announcements and position announcements or other items of interest to institutional researchers in the southeast.

SAIR members with e-mail addresses are automatically added to the SAIRMAIL mailing list, but anyone with an interest in institutional research may subscribe to the SAIRMAIL service. To subscribe, simply send a current e-mail address with your name, position, institutional affiliation and mailing address to mhall@selu.edu.

To post a message on SAIRMAIL, send an e-mail message to mhall@selu.edu just as you would like it relayed to the reader. To accomodate the various e-mail systems and services, it is suggested that the message be short, respect right margins, and avoid non-standard print fonts or attachments. Some editing may be required to fit the format and system requirements of SAIRMAIL. Include a return address (e-mail, US Mail, telephone, fax) on the message for responses.

SAIRMAIL is not a listserv, and responses must be sent directly to the original sender. Responses to SAIRMAIL will not be circulated to the entire SAIRMAIL list unless requested.
