Welcome to information for and about the
National Conference.
Because sponsorships for the Conference
are an important factor in keeping the cost down for all
participants, the National Board has initiated a way to
thank Councils directly for their efforts on the behalf
of all Council Members. Therefore:
The
National Board voted to include an incentive and reward
for Councils to solicit exhibitors and sponsors. For
each $4,500 a council secures, the Council receives
one full complimentary registration. For each
$10,000, a complimentary exhibit booth is included.
Review the potential sponsors in your
area. Because the National Conference can directly
improve life in your community, this sponsorship is an
easy appeal. If you need help on how to approach
sponsors, please contact our office.
Please note that the two hotels are
adjacent to the conference center, which offers internet
connection and open lounges for conference members to
utilize. This is the prime location. Remember that
there are a very limited number of government rate rooms
available.
To improve success story presentations
and the quality of training, some of the success stories
this year will be directly incorporated into individual
training programs. The categories are listed on the
“Call for Success Stories” page. The deadline is
November 15, 2008. We know the new training format will
make all trainings much more relevant and are very
excited to pair training with real life experiences.
Please be sure to look at the draft
agenda to give you a sense of conference scheduling.
Albuquerque is a great conference site.
It is ideal for a good meeting and great for a total
family vacation. Both adults and children will find
wholesome adventures and amusements. Future monthly
mailings will include information on things to see and
do in Albuquerque. So mark your calendars and start
your planning.
Looking forward to seeing you in
Albuquerque. |
