Dear Friends,


We are pleased to announce that we have already received many interesting, powerful, and innovative proposals for the 2010 BOOST Conference.  We consistently receive the highest ratings for our distinguished, high quality conference workshops and our presenters are most often invited to other regional and national conferences as a result of their exposure at BOOST.   Don't miss the opportunity for you, or someone you know, to share your knowledge and passion at the next BOOST Conference.

Sincerely,
 
Tia Quinn & The BOOST Collaborative Team
