“ASDA FEVER”• ASDA Fever - a condition of contagious enthusiasm

and love for ASDA • Symptoms - Characterized by completion of one’s ASDA

duties because he or she loves the work completely, reading the ASDA blog into the wee hours of the night, possible high body temperature, constant brainstorming for possible ASDA events, volunteering to set up and take down at ASDA events, attendance to every ASDA event possible, may be accompanied by a fast pulse rate and a slight obsession with all things ASDA

• Recommended Treatment – More involvement in ASDA!

• Prognosis – Incurable

Whether you are just starting out at as an ASDA member or have experience holding a position at the chapter or national level, this

event will help develop your leadership skills.

Save the date for next year’s event: Nov. 15-17, 2012 in Chicago!
