[TheForge] News from ABANA

[Albin Drzewianowski]

Recently the question came up as to whether or not ABANA supplies health
insurance.

This morning I received, via email, the January ABANA Committe Reports and
it mentions that Heather Hutton, who manages the ABANA Central Office is
doing "research" on both health insurance and shop insurance.  No further
details were provided.

This seems to indicate that ABANA may be starting to listen to the
membership.  The Committees Report was rather lengthy and seems to indicate
that the Board is trying to address a lot of the issues that have been
raised in the recent past.

The real test will be if we continue to see this level of communication with
the membership.  I hope it continues.  It is a promising sign.

By the way, one of the items mentioned was that the Board was working on
putting on an affordable ABANA conference in 2010.
