POSTER CONTEST TIME!
It's back-to-school for the kids and so time for your local chapter to encourage
nuclear knowledge in the younger set. And what better way to do that than breaking out
the crayons to submit a poster for the annual NA-YGN poster contest?!?!
As always, judging will be completed by our membership attending the ANS meeting in
November and more details can be found on our website

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
One PASSIONATE person (at least passionate about knowledge management!). Do you know a
few tricks of the trade? Or a couple good ideas to share? What does your company do for
KM?
We're looking for a committee leader to guide a gaggle of committee members on this
enthusiastic team! Please contact Amy for more information

NA-YGN Encouraging Smart Voting!
NA-YGN has been in contact with the campaigns of both Barack Obama and John McCain and has
set up a phone call with each respective party to discuss energy needs and the future of
nuclear. The first one is with the Obama campaign Tuesday September 23 at 1pm EST. The
McCain call is TBD. There will be times for Q&A as well. You must register for the
call (as a limited number of lines are available on a first-come-first-serve basis) but
most chapter leads have already done so:
