Dear Jannette Dates,

Thank you very much for what you've done.
We are so proud to have you in the leadership of the organization.
MAC, and I hope the CSM, will wait to hear from you.
Ali.

>>On April 1, the Supreme Court will start hearing arguments for and against

>>As an educational organization, shouldn't AEJMC join this battle on the

>>Could the more knowledgable colleagues among us advise us on this issue?
>>What should and can MAC as a division do?
>>Thanks.
