Each local conference holds quarterly meetings at which the participants in these meetings hear lectures of timely interest. The meetings also encourage and promote improved communication between colleagues by bringing these individuals into direct contact with one another in a semi-official atmosphere. This contact and subsequent comradery is so essential to cooperative efforts and beneficial information exchange. A periodic newsletter keeps all members informed of CASA activities and events within their conference. Participation and Sphere of Influence - Active committees enable members to participate in CASA activities and derive a sense of pride and satisfaction as they contribute to the success of their professional association. In addition through resolutions to AFDO, CASA members can be heard more effectively and can influence national policy decisions.
