CSHA District 7District Director: Sonia K. Aller - saller@chla.usc.edu District Advisory Board: Nominating Committee: Welcome to District #7’s web page. I am Marianne Stone Smith, and I am the Director of CSHA District #7. I am just beginning my second year as your Director, but I have been involved in CSHA as a district advisory board member since I graduated from CSUN. This organization does so much to advance our professions and to represent our membership as state legislation issues impact us. Sonia K. Aller is the Director-Elect and will take over as Director in June 2009. Both of us attend four CSHA Board meetings a year and serve as your voice to that board. We are a very active district and would love to have you join us at any of our continuing education or social events. We also welcome your suggestions and input. Please feel free to contact either one of us. District News Although Jennifer Hanson was unable to attend the convention, two of her professors at CSUN, both former District #7 directors, Janice Woolsey and Connie Stratton, accepted in her behalf, holding up her picture as they shared the accomplishments of this outstanding student. We actually had 5 past directors attend the reception: Sally Cook, Muriel Goldojarb, Janice Woolsey, Connie Stratton and Denise Middleton and a large contingency of CSUN alumni and district members in addition to the friends and families of our award recipients. The Nominating Committee will begin their search for award candidates throughout the district this month. If you know of any person or agency that deserves recognition, please contact Sonia or a member of the Nominating Committee with your suggestion.
