The 11^th Annual NERSC conference, Reflections on Service and Community, was a great success! With a theme of Hearts & Minds: Inspiration in a Changing World, we are already preparing for NERSC 2010, scheduled to take place at the Mystic Marriott in Groton, CT – May 5-7, 2010. We hope you will join us for another outstanding education and networking experience!

WELCOME! We are pleased to welcome you to New England Resident Service Coordinators, Inc. Moving into our 12^th year, the Board of Directors and Conference Planning Committee at NERSC are ‘on board’ and already making big plans for another great year ahead.

We must also share our sadness at the sudden loss of an important NERSC Board member, Mary Weiss. Upon returning from the NERSC May, 2009 Conference in Vermont, Mary was stricken by a massive stroke and died the following week at Maine Medical Center near her home.

Involved with NERSC since its inception, Mary is fondly remembered as a serious, hard worker, with a no-nonsense approach, who was not afraid to challenge or stand up for what she believed in. Always armed with a unique sense of humor that helped us see the lighter side of things, Mary was a valued member of the NERSC Board and the New England RSC community. An important leader and trainer, not only at Preservation Management Company, but throughout the US, Mary possessed many sharp technical skills, a cutting-edge philosophy, and a strong dedication to the field of Service Coordination. She will be greatly missed.

In her memory, the NERSC Conference Scholarship fund will be named the Mary Weiss Scholarship Program.

We wish all our NERSC affiliates a good summer and will keep you posted about what NERSC has in store for you at our Annual Conference, 2010 in Connecticut! Until then, live each day with passion and purpose, and thanks for all you do to support and promote Service Coordination in affordable housing.

“A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.” – Buddha
