AALPD Colleagues:
Last week, AALPD opened the vote to AALPD members on the final version of the 
PD Policies. Twenty-five members have responded thus far, to indicate whether 
or not they support AALPD in promoting these policies.

Those who agree with the policies and want to see them acted upon must vote to 
let policymakers know they care. Those who disagree must vote so that 
policymakers know that these are not widely endorsed -- and what the 
controversies are.

If you are an AALPD member and you have not received an email requesting your 
participation, or if you have not yet had the opportunity to participate, then 
please take action now: http://aalpd.org/planning/policyvote_dataentry.cfm

For information and background regarding the PD Policy Recommendations, 
including how they were developed/revised, and next steps, visit:

Practice), visit: http://aalpd.org/documents/PDPolicyMatrix101205.doc

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Help get out the word, 
and get out the vote. Six days left.

Thanks so much!

Best, Jackie Taylor, List Moderator, AALPD, jataylor at utk.edu
