SMITH DIRECTOR, AFVILIATE OUTREACH PROJECT The further I go, the more I under- stand that it is imperative to work a great deal to achieve what I seek. ... In the end, I am excited by the need to render what I personally ex- perience. -Claude Monet While in Chicago for the Annual Meeting in August, I had the good fortune to hurriedly view the Mo- net exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago. Although I enjoyed the art, I had more appreciation and empa- thy for the artist's thoughtful in- sight expressed in the foregoing quote. It is apparent to me that the virtual army of volunteer lawyers who are the Affiliate Outreach Project (AOP) has personally expe- rienced the deep satisfaction and benefits of public service and is ea- ger to return those benefits. The AOP is the multifaceted link which allows the Division and its more than 300 affiliates to ex- change information, stimulate and develop public service projects, and provide assistance in project man- agement. Simply put, the AOP ex- ists to facilitate the delivery of public service. How are these lofty goals achieved? Primarily through the four component parts of the AOP: National Conferences; the Affiliate Assistance Program; the Public Ser- vice Subgrant Program; and The Af- filiate newsletter. Please consider some of the ben- efits the AOP offers you and your affiliates. National Conferences As you read these words, Rick Bien and his team are finalizing plans for yet another outstanding National Conference (highlighted on pages 4- 5 of this issue). Young lawyer lead- ers from around the country will converge on Boston, MA, October 25-27, to experience a stirring ar- ray of award-winning public ser- vice programming. We encourage affiliates which More than Fifty Years of commitment to Public Service AFFILIATE OUTREACH PROJECT 1900-91 NATIONL, F FILIATE~ FIC SERVICE THEl I CONFERENCES ]::ASSISTANCE I SURGIANT AFFILIATE TEAM PROGRAM have never attended a national con- ference to make this their first. Be- cause of the AOP's commitment to you, special travel reimbursement is available to first-time affiliates. Please contact your district repre- sentative immediately to be recom- mended for this special reimburse- ment. Those who have previously attended a national conference know that the AOP will reimburse three members of each affiliate a maximum of $150 each to help de- fray travel expenses. It certainly is not too early to mark your calendar and begin planning to attend the May 9-11 Spring National Leadership Skills Conference to be held in Scotts- dale, AZ. Additionally, we invite you to submit your affiliate's most outstanding projects to the Na- tional Conferences Team for pos- sible presentation in Scottsdale. Affiliate Assistance Program The Affiliate Assistance Team, un- der the direction of Chair Jerry D. Fenn, Jr., is making a concerted ef- fort to revive dormant affiliates and to organize affiliates where none exist. And, as always, the Affiliate Assistance Team is ready to pro- vide help in planning, implement- ing or maintaining public service (continued on page 1-4) Inside this issue *Editor's Corner, p. 2. *Subgrants Available, p. 3. *1989-90 Achievement Winners, p. 6.
