President's Message 2011, Sue Tocher

Membership Information

GAADE is now an affiliate of My AADE Network and we will be following a unified dues structure.   As of January 1, 2011 to join GAADE you must also join AADE.  The unified dues will be $165.00.  Monthly installment plans are available. For a majority of members this will be a reduction in membership fees as this will cover the cost of belonging to the national body, state/coordinating body, local networking group (formerly chapter) AND specialty practice group.   The new structure allows participants to belong to as many specialty practice groups and local networking groups they want at  no additional cost.   To join go to AADE’s website: www.diabeteseducator.org

IF you have questions, contact Kathleen Schroeder, AADE’s Membership services specialist  at

HOW TO SUBSCRIBE to receive GAADE ANNOUNCEMENTS/and E-News forums

GAADE sends out many news items to AADE members like meeting announcements through the new My AADE network.    If you are not receiving these announcements through your email you may not have “subscribed” yet .   Besides receiving news, members can send out questions or comments by starting a group “discussion” and receive state wide announcements.     Here are three documents that will help get you started with using My AADE network.
