On behalf of the 2009-2010 Board of Directors, I would like to welcome you back to the Workers Compensation Association of New Mexico. As we approach our 29th annual conference, the Association would like to thank you for your continuous support and participation in the ongoing initiatives of the WCA. This year's conference will be held at the Sandia Resort and Casino on May 12th, 13th and 14th, 2010. The WCA has proven to be an invaluable organization thanks to the unlabored commitment and contributions of our board of directors, volunteers, sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, and members. Through the decades, the WCA has provided a variety of educational resources, networking opportunities and, most valuably, support to the Toby Wright Memorial Scholarship Program. As you may be aware, the fund provides scholarships to New Mexico college students who have had the misfortune of a parent being killed or catastrophically injured in the workplace. Each year we are greatly rewarded by the success stories that have impacted their lives through the Association's commitment to furthering their education. The Workers Compensation Association is at last preparing to apply for the establishment of 501(C)3 non-profit status. This process has been in motion through the ongoing efforts and input of several past Board members and is in the final stages toward its submission. We look forward to the many valuable benefits the 501(C)3 will bring to further supporting the mission of the Association and will keep you apprised on its progress through the year. We look forward to offering another great year in sharing valuable information, providing innovative opportunities to meet and network with other industry professionals, and exploring new ideas to enhance the overall process within the New Mexico workers compensation community. Sincerely, Camille Lewis
