“Seeing the best in you emerge”

Greetings from the Southeast Area and welcome to our web site. If you are new to our association, please take a little time to visit the entire NAEOP web site. NAEOP offers many opportunities for professional and personal growth to its members. As a member of the Southeast Area you will receive newsletters and updates from the national office. As an active member of NAEOP, you will benefit from networking with others across the United States.

We congratulate and join our new president, Allie Faye Matthews, CEOE, in seeing the best in you emerge. We are challenged by her to be our best, do our best, and always strive to achieve our goals. She has chosen the butterfly as her symbol for the 2011-2012 year. It is so appropriate for this association. We all begin as the ugly caterpillar, moving along doing what has to be done. At some point we weave a cocoon, waiting for the right time and finally burst forth as the beautiful, soaring creature we were meant to be. Join NAEOP this year in giving and being your best at work, home, in your associations, and in your community.

NAEOP offers many benefits to you as a member:

The Southeast Area rotates among the states to host our annual professional development seminar weekend each year. Those states not hosting are given responsibilities and assignments as we all do our part for the success of the program. Fifty to 100 members from several states usually attend. This year the Southeast Areas will not conduct a professional development seminar as we are proud to be hosting the National Institute.

Mark your calendars for April 20 – April 22, 2012 and plan to join the Southeast Area as we host the NAEOP Spring Institute in Rogers, Arkansas. The Embassy Suites will be our hotel site for the weekend. We will begin on Friday, April 20th with registration at 4:30, dinner at 5:30, and are own President Matthews will open the institute with a presentation. Our speaker on Saturday and half a day on Sunday will be Mr. Willie Johnson. His greatest enjoyment comes when giving motivational and inspirational presentations to groups.

Attending this institute will give participants 15 hours of PSP credit. Registration and hotel reservation information will be included in the NES Connector.

A Southeast Area newsletter will be sent out four times a year

The Southeast Area will affiliate with NAEOP. In doing so, we will have a delegate to the Advisory Council and other benefits afforded to affiliate organizations.

For more information about NAEOP or the Southeast Area, please contact me. I’d love to hear from you.
