Five Minutes with ACHE

 Does ACHE Speak for You?
You recently received an e-mail from me encouraging you to contact members of Congress in support of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill of 2009. On the surface, this seems like a simple request. But the decision to contact you was actually quite complicated, and I want to tell you why. I also hope to get your feedback on the issue of advocacy as a whole.
First a little background. During the Board of Directors meeting at the Nashville Annual Conference and Meeting, a longtime ACHE member asked us to work in support of changing the Internal Revenue Service regulation on tax benefits for employer-provided educational assistance. Currently, $5,250 of the benefits can be excluded from counting as taxable income. Read more. . . |

Billing for the 2009 membership year is open, and, to the best of our knowledge, all of the invoices have been sent out. If you have not received your invoice, please let me know. If you have, we look forward to receiving your dues by the deadline, March 1st.

The new ACHE Community is getting its feet underneath it! The first step in the process was the launch of the new member directory the first week of February. You can now go into the directory by logging in with your last name and member number and search other members, add to your profile, or change your information. Other offerings to come in the next few months will be an enhanced event calendar, discussion boards, e-mail lists, online applications, and so much more.

Retirement Announced
Dr. Nicholas Kolb sent us a short note recently asking that we let the ACHE membership know of his recent retirement: “Dear ACHE friends, I have recently retired as Associate Provost and Dean of the School of Continuing Education at Indiana University of PA. My official membership in ACHE began in 1969, when I joined the Evening College at Johns Hopkins University. Over the years I served ACHE in various capacities, including association president 1986-87. My wife, Jane, and I reside in Indiana, PA, have two married daughters and two grandsons, who live in Virginia. I am very grateful for the experiences and friendships that resulted from my membership in ACHE, and send best wishes to all.”
Is a Picture Worth 1,000 Students?
Choosing a Single Image to Best Represent Your Program
by Wayne Wilkins, marketing director, Rhode Island School of Design Continuing Education
One of the most difficult issues we grapple with constantly at Rhode Island School of Design is what image, or combination of images, to use on the cover of our catalog. In truth, “grapple” is probably too soft a word for the sometimes Herculean effort to come to consensus on an image and layout that best represents the program being promoted. A multitude of questions arise with each direction we consider: Should we show student artwork? Or should we show students in a class or working in a studio? Read more...
Please consider submitting one or more entries for The Crystal Marketing Award
This award recognizes those institutions that achieve significant results from marketing communications tools to support any of their various continuing education programs. The strategic approach, overall quality, and results achieved are important criteria in determining the winner. A first-place award will be presented to the single entry that exemplifies the most creative and outstanding uses of marketing, either of a multi-faceted campaign or a single initiative. A number of honorable mentions may also be cited. Submission guidelines and nomination forms.
