Mary Flood, the keynote speaker for this year's Annual Meeting, has posted about us on her Houston Chronicle blog. Check it out here! And speaking of blogs, you can still view the official Annual Meeting blog here.
The 2008 Annual Meeting has ended, and a great time was had by all aboard the Ecstasy! Thanks to all of our speakers for their programs, and to Cruise and Travel Partners for helping to make this a great anniversary experience. In the coming days we'll be posting the Powerpoint presentations from the meeting programs on the meeting page, as well as pictures from the cruise, so keep checking back - you never know what embarassing photo of your colleagues might pop up! Plus, it's never too early to start thinking about
programs for SWALL 2009, scheduled for March 25-28 in beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico.
