Loren Schreiber, Chair of the Tech Expo Committee, has given all those procrastinating members a break. He and his committee are extending the entry deadline until December 1 for people who have interesting and innovative solutions to technical problems. Selected participants will have their projects included in the exhibit at Stage Expo and in the catalog, To be part of the 2007 version, or for more information, see the Tech Expo page as part of www.usitt.org/phoenix.

This may be considered an "off year" for some elections, with lower voter turnout, but that's not the case for USITT's election process.

All USITT members are urged to participate in the 2007 leadership selection process by returning ballots as soon as possible. All ballots must reach the USITT Office by January 5, 2007. To make the task easier, an addressed postage-paid envelope is included with each ballot.

We wish all our readers the best possible holiday season. Whatever the tradition, or no tradition at all, we hope there is a break in the schedule that allows a moment of relaxation.

There was very little relaxation at LDI2006 in Las Vegas, Nevada in October. USITT officers, volunteers, and staff were pleased to be able to spend a few moments talking to members, potential members, and even folks for whom USITT was a new idea. We hope to see all those, and more when USITT's Annual Conference convenes in nearby Phoenix, Arizona next March.
