Updates for the Chicago 2011 Annual Conference.

Greetings! 

Our Conference Planning Team is diligently working to produce a fantastic conference experience that has something for everyone - As always, we want to hear from you - whether it is a suggestion, an idea...an educational session proposal. It's all there! And we want you to be part of the 91st Annual Conference February 27th through March 3rd, 2011.

These are the updates that you may find relevant as you plan your professional development for the upcoming year!

VOUCHER PROGRAM

You and your colleagues may purchase a $595 voucher which can be transferred to a full professional or undergraduate registration when it opens. Do you have extra money for 2009 – 2010 or want to make sure you don’t lose it for 2010-2011? This is a way to get it locked in early!

Deadline: August 1, 2010 (Vouchers must be purchased by this date)

CONFERENCE HOTEL

You can now make reservations to secure your rooms at our conference hotel, the Chicago Marriott Downtown on the Magnificent Mile. The discounted rate is $159 for a single occupancy! That's $39 less than NASPA's Room Rate from their 2009 Chicago Annual Conference.

SOCIAL LGBTQA COMMUNITY DINNER

Our Conference Planning Team has developed a comprehensive list of 48-restaurants as suggested venues to pick for our social dinner. While our Community of Practice tends to always live life with a little more flair (read as style!)...we are always looking for more options/suggestions that include a wonderful place to dine, followed by easy access to a night on the town.  

If there are specific options you would like me to research, please do not hesitate to let me know. We have our on-site meeting scheduled for July 13-17 and I will be happy to assist any way I can.

 -----

That's all I have for now...please do not hesitate to reply back to this post or email me at dirk.rodricks@uvm.edu if you have any specific questions. 

Happy Summer!
