Tom Mosher, NJ Editor, has made an excellent point in the Oct. "Tempo". He is addressing communication and the importance of keeping the State and MENC appraised of any changes in a members addresses and level(s) and area(s) of teaching. It is very easy to change your personal information at the MENC website. Accress the site - either through the link above or through MENC.org directly. Click on the "Already a member? sign in" - top left on the page. On this page fill in your email address that MENC has on file and your membership number - found on the back of your membership card - or, if you can't find it, email Faith Varney and she'll look it up. On the next page click on Member services and you can update your personal information.

It's that easy and neither MENC or MMEA will sell or give your email address to spammers. If someone asks Faith for member addresses will respond: "send to me what you want to go to the members and I'll send it out to our District Chairs who in turn will distribute it to the members." This may be a bit more cumbersome but our goal is to protect you.
