Beautiful Weather, Excellent Presenters, and Wonderful Company!

Fall Conference 2010 was another successful event for ALOTA. With nearly 200 attendees, extremely informative presentations providing for over 12 contact hours, and networking among the excellent professionals from our state, one could not ask for a better way to spend this weekend. If you were unable to attend this year, you were missing out and should keep your September calendar open for next year’s conference. Presentation slides requested and the updated policies and bylaws will be posted as I receive them under the Forums tab. You must have/create a user log-in to view these items. They will be under the heading “ALOTA Members Only” and sub-heading “Government Affairs.” If you have any difficulty logging in, email Amy Woodward, Website Chair at amy.woodward@alota.org.
