I am writing to you from my office at USM and golly does it feel good to get out of my apartment every now and then! I hope this message finds you well and about to enjoy a beautiful Maine summer.

I am writing to you all to make an ask on behalf of our Development Chair, Andrew Long. Andrew has been on the board for a few years now and working solo for most of that time. We are hoping that we can find a committee for Andrew, full of folks from around the state so we can be asking different communities to contribute to MEEOA. Our hope is that each institution could volunteer at least one person to join Andrew's development committee.

If you know of someone in your office who might be a good fit, maybe suggest they join the committee! If anyone has questions or concerns about what the responsibilities or time commitment might look like, please feel free to reach out to Andrew at [log in to unmask] or myself at [log in to unmask]

We'd love to start really growing our committees so the work is more evenly distributed....the more folks on a committee, the better! We are hoping to grow this committee as soon as possible.
