Our President, Don Gary, has charged the AADPA membership with bringing ourself and at least one guest for next year's 2009 annual meeting in Austin. Why is this important?
1. To ensure the financial success of the meeting.
2. To bring more guests into the potential pool of members to encourage growth of the 'Academy'.

As Marketing Committee chairman, our committee would active like to seek your input as to "What speakers, activities, or opportunities do we need to get you, a member, and a guest to the meeting in Austin?" Please feel free to comment open and honestly as we want to continue to build on the great enthusiasm from the last meeting and the 'Town Hall meeting'. Please be thinking now about who you will bring to the next meeting as your guest.
