Bernie,
Lori had mentioned needed a quick bio from those of us that are up for consideration in the NSTA conference...is that still true?  And if so, when are they needed by?

Hi Lori, Lynda, Mike, Sue, Allan, Sherri, and fellow board members,

      Here is the preliminary reply that I sent back to Delores Howard  
regarding the ideas that we discussed at Menucha.

      Lynda will be sending in a more detailed description of our  
discussions.  This preliminary report does not contain any of the  
reasons for these choices, it merely shows that OSTA is serious about  
being involved asap in making the western regional a success.

      Please continue your thoughts and discussions regarding Strands,  
as well as the people to be recommended.  "Bridges over Troubled  
Waters" might refer to this week's gatherings at the Salem Capitol.   
(or to the sandbags surrounding the capitol buildings!!! ;-)

      Thank you for your enthusiasm at Menucha!    Peace and  
friendship,  Bernie

Good morning, Delores,

     The OSTA Executive Board had a spirited retreat up in the ice and  
rain of the Columbia Gorge this past weekend and came up with these  
recommendations for the 2013 NSTA Western Regional conference in  
Portland:

      Conference Theme:   BRIDGES TO THE FUTURE:
      Strands:            Bridges to Literacy, Bridges to STEM,  
Bridges to the Next Generation Science Standards

      Conference Chair:  Lynda Sanders <sandsciosta at charter.net>
      Program Chair:     Michael Rockow <rockow42 at q.com>
      Local Arrangements:Lori Lancaster <lancaster.ld at gmail.com>

      Program representatives:
         1. Brian Teppner  -  Incoming WSTA Pres
         2. Sue McWilliams -  <smcw at bendcable.com>
         3. Jodie Harnden  -  <jharnden at hotmail.com>
         4. Bruce Reiter    - <BEReiter at comcast.net>
         5. Diana Gordon  -   <gordondi at ohsu.edu>

      Other possibilities for the Program Committee included:
         1.  (from Washington) - Midge Yergen <yergenm at wvsd208.org>,  
JoLynne Roberts <JoLynne.Roberts at camas.wednet.edu>, John Parker

        Volunteers Manager;  Paul Zastrow <pzastrow at gorge.net>

         A good deal of thought and discussion went into these  
recommendations, Delores.  You should be receiving a similar email  
from our OSTA President, Lynda Sanders <sandsciosta at charter.net>, that  
may discuss these recommendations in more detail.  (ie. Portland is  
the "City of Bridges"  ;-)

         Most importantly, you should see the seriousness and the  
conscientious efforts that OSTA will be putting forth to help make  
this Western Regional Conference a success.

         Thank you for all that you do!

            Peace and friendship,  Bernie Carlsen  OSTA Executive Director
