8 THE SOJOURNER

NATIONAL SECRETARY’S DESK

In case you missed all the previous announcements- WE HAVE MOVED!

Your National Headquarters has moved from Springfield, Virginia, to Chantilly,
Virginia. Our new address is 4443 Brookfield Corporate Drive, Suite 120,
Chantilly, VA 20151. Our email address, hq@nationalsojourners.org, and phone
number, 703-765-5000, remain the same.

Recent HQ news:

Maria Patino joined our staff at the National office and is training with our Office Manager, Heather
McGraw, to learn our processes and procedures in anticipation of Heather’s departure next year.

The office continues to develop and make the most of our new facility and local services. A team of
Collingwood Library and Museum on Americanism (CLMA) members is scheduled to organize and set up our
museums in September. Once that is accomplished, we will schedule an “open house” event. BOLO for that
invite!

National Sojourners Convention Corporation (NASOCOCO) has asked the National office to consider
hosting the Mid-Winter Meeting (MWM) this coming January. Details will be provided as they become
available and final decisions are made.

At the ANC we found out our “shipping program” was no longer working because ShipStation made a
change to the application that would require us to purchase a more expensive and higher-level tier of service
to continue. We complained about not receiving advance notice and ultimately, we decided to investigate
other options. We have been working with our Website developer, KENTROPOLIS, and the new shipping
company on conversion to a new application. We apologize for any inconvenience experienced by our
Secretaries or members.
