Dear ACAAA Members;

I am very excited to serve as your ACAAA President for 2011-12. With Keith Perkins serving as ACAAA Vice President and Rex Herring serving as ACAAA Secretary, I think we have a great leadership team on board to lead us into the future. I hope to continue the excellent professional development programming the association has had in the past, and introduce agents to new and exciting leadership opportunities available through our organization.

There will be lots of opportunities to lead as we submit our bid to host the 2016 AM/PIC at the NACAA National meeting to be held in Charleston SC on July 15-19, 2012. I hope everyone will make plans to attend.

The ACAAA state meeting is scheduled for March 21-23 in Harrison, AR. Since this is during most school’s spring break, I hope everyone will bring their families with them to enjoy everything North Arkansas has to offer. After the meeting, you and your family can float the Buffalo River, explore  Lost Valley, visit Eureka Springs, shop in Branson, or participate in many other activities that are too numerous to mention.

If you have any questions about ACAAA and opportunities available to members, be sure to contact myself or any board member. I look forward to leading ACAAA into a great future!

Sincerely,

Jack C. Boles, Jr.
ACAAA President
2011-2012
