Congratulations to this year's Silver Trowel recipient, Alice Baldrica!

The proposed revisions to the NAA By-Laws were approved by a vote during the annual meeting of the general membership. Changes to the Board of Directors are Lynn Furnis who replaced outgoing Board Member Laurie Perry as Secretary (thank you for your years of service, Laurie, enjoy Sacramento!) and Karla Jageman who was elected to the Board as a Member–at–Large.

The NAA would like to thank our Guest Speaker, Dr. Colleen Beck, who spoke on her work at the Nevada Peace Camp near the Nevada Test Site, Ron Reno and Lynn Furnis for conducting the Historic Artifact Workshop, and Susan Edwards for facilitating the open discussion on Lithic Landscapes.

The NAA would especially like to thank the sponsors of this year's conference: Desert Research Institute, Susan Edwards of DRI, Far Western Anthropological Research Group, HRA, Inc., Conservation Archaeology, with special thanks going to At Your Service Catering–Paul DePatta.

Thank you, everyone for making this year's meetings a success!
