A Note From the
Executive Director

The NEO-RLS Newsletter has a new look! NEO-RLS staff have been working over the past few weeks to develop a more visually appealing and effective newsletter format.  

A few of the changes you will notice: 

• The CE Calendar is more prominent 
• Larger, eye-catching banners 
• New buttons for creating a NEO-RLS account, CE @ a Glance, and the NEO-RLS Jobline 

We are open to any feedback or suggestions for additional improvements that you may have so please send those my way at, ragan.snead@neo-rls.org. 

Have a great day!
