Advisors:

We are looking forward to another great year with the Texas Intern Program.  This will be our fifth year toprovide this opportunity and your students have been absolutely amazing.  Originally, the responsibility of applying to the program belonged to the students.  I have noticed that many of you encourage (or require) all of your state attendees to participate in the Intern program.  In an effort to make things easier for you, this year you may submit your students’ information as a chapter in the provided Excel format.  This form will ensure that all students are approved by you and will save you some time.  I will still be creating a form for each student so that we can track their service hours and if you would like a copy of this you can let me know after the conference.  I will have their hour sheets sorted by Chapter this year. This procedure will hopefully make it easier for me to send you all of their service hour information as well. 

Interns will again be compiling photos for the Photorama slide show to be viewed before the Awards session on Saturday.  This show will also be running at the BPA booth in the exhibit area.  We will have the BPA background set up in the exhibit area if you’d like to take chapter pictures.  We will also have Interns to take your chapter’s picture to be included in the slide show.  We want to be sure that everyone feels a part of the conference so be sure to come by Intern Headquarters to download pictures of your chapter enjoying the fun in Dallas.

Please encourage your students to participate in the Texas Intern Program.  The application and more information can be downloaded on the website www.texasbpa.com.  Please send all applications to interns@texasbpa.com by the deadline of February 14th. 

Thank you for all your hard work with your chapters this year and for sharing your students with us by encouraging them to participate in the program.

If you have any questions, please contact me at interns@texasbpa.com or dweber@seguin.k12.tx.us.

See you in Dallas,
