Dear colleagues

 

I thought I would share a sneak peak at the schedule for our annual conference in Washington, DC (May 1-5) so that you can begin planning your travel. The Co-Chairs and Conference Committee had hoped to have the schedule available at the end of the month but we have had a small snafu that is being corrected. We expect to post the schedule and open registration by the middle of February. Your patience and understanding is much appreciated.
