2008 Meetings
We need your help with future planning!

Thanks to those members that took the time to fill out our 5-question member survey last month.  We want to have the speakers that focus on our mission of advocating public policy and education as well as those that are most interesting to you.  We also want to know where you would like to meet.

So send us your suggestions of speakers, meeting sites and anything else that will make planning at our Annual Board of Directors retreat go more smoothly.  Suggestions can be sent to Catherine Dority!
