The Rocky Mountain Summer Institute committee has hit the ground running. The core committee (all except the faculty) met during the RMASFAA Conference in Omaha in October to begin the planning process. They will also convene again in early December in Golden, Colorado for a two-day planning meeting. During this time, all key aspects of “SI” will be discussed and organized.

I am very pleased to report that Annita Huff, our Academic Dean, has filled all of the faculty positions. This year we have faculty representation from all eight RMASFAA states. We look forward to providing the best training in the nation at Summer Institute 2005! Whether you are a neophyte or a seasoned professional, there will be something for you.

Summer Institute 2005 will be held June 12-17, 2005 on the beautiful campus of the Colorado School of Mines. Please check the RMASFAA web site (www.rmasfaa.org) for a full committee listing as well as for more details about the “Tute”. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to contact me directly at robb.cummings@slma.com.
