Dear Friends,
The BOOST Conference is pleased to announce the 2009 Workshop Sessions! We were honored to have received 265 workshop proposals for this year's event and are sorry to turn away so many presenters. However, we have put together a plethora of amazing workshop sessions that fit the needs of the out-of-school time field.
Sincerely,

Tia Quinn Executive Director BOOST Collaborative |
