CONFERENCE IDEA STORMING

We want to make this our best Conference ever! Participants at the last two in 2005 and 2007 all agreed that they found the experience both rewarding and educational – well, we want to top that this year!

To that end, we are seeking YOUR input into what topics you would like to see and hear in the concurrent presentations. We will share your suggestions with prospective contributors, and hopefully someone will take on the challenge!

To post your ideas, just click on the  “Comment” link to the right or the reply form below if visible.
