A word of appreciation
Morrill Chapter praised for honoring dean
J. Marcos Fernadez, associate dean for the Penn State College of
Agriculture was recently inducted as an associate member. He had this
to say about the recognition:
"I was touched by your kind and thoughtful gesture. I'm humbled and have been
uplifted by this action of yours, and I'm both grateful and thankful to the
chapter. Know that it served as a special encouragement for me personally at an
opportune time. And rest assured that I will prominently display the AZ -
Morrill Chapter Associate Member plaque on my office wall in the very near
future!"

Dear Brian,
Officer

expect the spigot to turn on full blast this week! AgCareers.com is
putting up cash for chapters to attend the conference. About 200+ AZs
are expected. More than 20 companies will be represented at the
Career/Internship Fair. It's a great chance to learn more about AZ, get
ideas for your chapter and have a good time. Make plans to attend today!

Corrections
The Conclave will vote on membership, officer amendments
 Links in last week's AZ Leader were incorrect. I apologize for the error. Bylaw
amendments proposed at the Conclave could make second semester Freshmen
eligible for membership. Other proposed changes define transfer student
eligibility, install term limits for the High Council and limit chapter
representation on the board. Your chapter should send at least one delegate and one alternate to represent the chapter's position on these important issues. Conclave Agenda | Proposed Amendments
