Undoubtedly, 2008 will be remembered as one for the history books. From the global economic slowdown to political change, the uncertainties have been rapid and relentless. Some of our centers are faced with unprecedented challenges – and they need our help more than ever.

Earlier this year we announced the SeniorNet Advisory Council. This council was created to provide insight, advice and counsel to HQ Staff and the Board of Directors. I have had the opportunity to interact with the council members individually and during council conference calls, and it is abundantly clear that their contributions have been significant . They have been candid in sharing their opinions of our operations, plans and future direction.

Their overall value add has been a tremendous asset to SeniorNet going forward.

We urge you to get to know these leaders. Their expertise may help you in growing your center.
