The 2008 Conference in Costa Mesa, California was a big success and  the Southern California Chapter should be congratulated. Special thanks go out to the Volunteer Co-Chairs, Colleen Ryan and Allison Anderson and their fantastic committee and volunteers for the great job they did! Information and education were plentiful, as were networking opportunities. We also increased our international flavor with a large contingent of families from New Zealand this year!
