HAWAII WEEKEND EXPERIENCE
FUN IN THE SUN AND IMPORTANT WORK FOR YOUR BOARD OF GOVERNORS

As we look forward to our fall Biennial Congress in Honolulu, the event promises to be filled not only with great fun but also with very important work for your Board of Governors.

You've read about the wonderful accommodations at the Outrigger Reef Hotel that will be available to all our members at a reduced rate. That is matched only by the reduced rates that have been made available at other Outrigger Hotels on the Neighbor Islands during the weeks following the Congress.

Additionally, the tours planned by the Aloha Chapter will give us an insider's view of public and private efforts to manage scarce land resources in this highly valued tropical environment. We are especially eager to hear from the Honorable Jeremy Harris, Mayor of Honolulu, who will speak to our Friday luncheon. Perhaps one of the few mayors of a major US city who is also a marine scientist, Mayor Harris's talk will undoubtedly emphasize the importance of the ocean to land values and development of the city.

In all, our colleagues in the Aloha Chapter have gone out of their way to make our stay memorable and we hope that you will take advantage of this rare opportunity to see Hawaii-not only as a tourist but also as an insider.

Your Board of Governors will be hard at work during our weekend. The board is currently considering a measure to revise and update our society's by-laws. This is the culmination of a year-long effort by your International Secretary, J. Craig Williams, your Executive Director, Terry Stevenson and many other members of the Board of Governors. We expect that the revisions will further enhance the operations of Lambda Alpha International.

We are also pleased that the Congress will host a presentation of the biennial international awards. As you've read in the latest print version of KeyNotes, a number of your colleagues will be honored at the Outrigger Reef on Friday evening, November 7 where we will be treated to a delightful dinner as our honorees accept their awards.

The Biennial Congress will also mark the transition of leadership in LAI from the presidency of Roger Kallman (London Chapter) to that of our new president, Larry Lund (Ely Chapter). The new board will assume their duties at this meeting and we hope that you will be there to congratulate both retiring and new board members in this 73rd year of our society.
