The latest confirmation NACD has received is from the former Miss Louisiana, who will sing the national anthem at the opening general session.

In addition to breakout sessions and general sessions, NACD has plenty of events and entertainment planned. From host-state and partner tours to the 2009 Annual Legislative Auction to local entertainment, your time in New Orleans will be filled with fun. And for those of you worried about where you’re going to view the big game on Sunday, February 1, 2009—don’t worry! For only $20, NACD will provide for all of your viewing needs at the Super Sunday Social (cost of drinks not included). See the Activities page for details.
