Hi Folks We have a long time before our General Assembly corresponding to the ARIN meeting in April, 2017 Meanwhile, we have been communicating with ARIN stay for the hotel accommodation, cooperation at the event and a speaker to help orient the ALS's on ARIN's function and duties which will be in February and a repeat in March. Each of the NARALO meetings will provide tidbits about ARIN as well. In the past Evan, Leah, Darlene, Ogi, and myself have attended ARIN meetings ( sorry if I forgot someone else) Most have been awarded the ARIN fellowship. They have five per region and our US and Canadian ALS's are eligible for the next ARIN 38 meeting on 20 - 21 October 2016 in Dallas, TX and the fellowship is now open. Here is the link to the fellowship program https://www.arin.net/participate/meetings/fellowship.html Good luck on your application Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn@gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .
