<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings NCASG Members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To provide the most comprehensive data available, our Tuesday, October 19, 2021 meeting to present the information collected for the NCASG Survey is being rescheduled. The meeting will now be held on Thursday, November 4, 2021.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After receiving 60% of the survey submissions after the deadline, the Executive Board and Survey Coordinators elected to reschedule the meeting to allow additional time to compile the late submissions. This decision was made to help NCASG
continue to provide thorough information that adds the most value to our membership. I’m happy to report that the Wage Survey had approximately a 70% participation rate – and, we have four returning states to the list of regular participants.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please join me in thanking our Survey Coordinators. They deserve a big pat on the back for their dedication to collecting and assembling the data. It’s not an easy task, and I know we all appreciate their work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to the survey presentations, at our next meeting, we will announce our President-Elect, Ryan Beard, will take office as President and Toni Gillis will step back to Past President.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An invite to the virtual meeting will be sent closer to November 4<sup>th</sup> with specific times. Please hold your late morning/early afternoon open in the West and early afternoon to late afternoon in the Midwest and East.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you – enjoy your weekend!<o:p></o:p></p>
