Inasmuch as this proposal will likely affect each of us, we, as chapters, are being asked to provide any thoughts or comments we may have on the proposal to WBASNY as soon as possible.  We would ask that any CNYWBA members who are interested and have comments email their comments to CNYWBA President Laurel Eveleigh, who will transmit them to Dierdre in a cohesive package from our chapter.  This is an opportunity to make your voice heard on a potentially critical issue for our practices going forward, so we urge everyone to give the proposal some thought and provide feedback.
