Others publish reports on their listservs or web pages. Other delegates address their constituency directly in a club meeting or other gathering. Recognizing the importance of these connections, we at the AYA are stressing delegates' reporting to their constituencies as an essential part of their job. In recent months, we have seen a tremendous increase in the quantity and quality of delegate assembly reports. There is one area, however, where we can do more.
Communications do, after all, go both ways.
Please pass on your suggestions to me, to anyone on the Board of Governors, or to the AYA staff. And when you come to an Assembly, ask the questions your constituents would pose at an information session-and then convey the results to them. Keep the flow of information moving. Those of us who have experimented with this kind of communication have found it extremely rewarding. We have invited alumni to raise questions, either specifically on a class listserv or at a club meeting or informally around the firm's water cooler.
