I am very honored to serve as BSUAOP’s President for a second term.  My theme this year is: “We Become What We Envision.”  When I chose this theme, I began to envision the upcoming year for BSUAOP and here is what I see: • Open communication, creating trust and promoting feedback and the exchange of ideas, • Members feel their unique personalities and talents are appreciated and utilized, • Members proudly share a sense of why BSUAOP exists and are committed to accomplish its mission and goals, • Members take advantage of the opportunities to update skills and network with peers. BSUAOP’s purpose is to assist its members in reaching a professional level of excellence, to promote positive attitudes and to encourage further training in specific fields relevant to each member’s responsibilities within the University. This year, as I serve my second term as BSUAOP President, I hope that you, too, will envision BSUAOP as I do and with the support of the Executive Board and all members, we can make our vision a reality.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions.  I can be reached at 426-1996 or sueantonich@boisestate.edu.  I look forward to meeting you and working with you.

When Leslie Black called from Colorado to tell me that the BSUAOP Keynoter had won first place in the national competition at the National Association of Educational Office Professionals (NAEOP) conference, I was stunned!

Hello,  My name is Kelley Davis and I am the BSUAOP Secretary. I became a member of BSUAOP a couple of years ago and after one year, decided I wanted to learn more about the organization and become a part of the board. I thought I would start in slow as an Area Rep, but when asked if I would consider being Secretary, I gave it a chance. I am now serving my second year as secretary and really enjoy being a part of an active organization. I have had the opportunity to travel to Sun Valley, Seattle, and Denver, attending the State and National Conferences. I have learned many things which benefit me as a person but mostly as an employee. Since being a local, state, and national member, it is my desire to broaden my wings and become a State Board Member and in time serve on the National Board as well. My daughters and I visited Idaho in the summer of 1998 and moved to Idaho in November 1998. My two teenage daughters are the loves of my life. We have two miniature doxies, Rosey who is three years old and very much a mama’s girl and Jimmy who is one and a half and a very bouncy puppy. I became a student at BSU in 2001 and a work study student for the Selland College Dean’s Office. Angela Garcia introduced me to BSUAOP after becoming an Administrative Assistant in 2006. I worked for one year in the Dean’s office and then moved to the Center Manager’s Office as an Administrative Assistant.  Many changes are going on with the Selland College as they become a part of the new College of Western Idaho.  I chose to stay with Boise State and on August 18, I was welcomed into the Department of Nursing. I look forward to many good years with Boise State and with BSUAOP.                                         Kelley Davis, Secretary                          F a m i l i a r  F a c e s — n e w  p l a c e s  Kelley Davis, Secretary BSUAOP Darlene Travis, Chair of the Department of Radiologic Sciences, has agreed to continue as our faculty advisor for the 2008-2009 year.  For those of you who have not yet met Darlene , she is a professor whose experience and knowledge make her an excellent resource for our organization.  Teaching commitments prevented Darlene from attending our first monthly meeting in September, but she is actively involved in our organization and provides us with excellent advice and guidance when requested.  She may be reached at 426-3290. Her office is in the Health Sciences Building.
