Dear COABE Members:
We have returned from the COABE LAPCAE 2013 conference in New Orleans where we were joined by over 1,600 attendees from around the country for outstanding professional development, exciting keynote speakers, and off-site and on-site events that were unique to New Orleans.
On behalf of the COABE board, conferees, and membership I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kaye Sharbono, our conference chair, and her co-chairs Angela Day, Kim Barnette, and Pam Frederick. They did a fantastic job coordinating the conference, and we are grateful for their hard work and the work of the entire conference committee that made this conference possible.
Please be sure to complete the online evaluation here if you attended the conference. When you complete the evaluation, you’ll receive your Conference Certificate of Completion, and we’ll enter your name into a drawing for complimentary registration to attend next year’s COABE conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on March 16-19, 2014!
You can also visit our online repository which features outstanding presentations that were given during the COABE conference. If you are unable to locate a presentation in the repository that you found particularly helpful, please contact Sharon Bonney, our COABE Manger. Presenters, you can send your presentations for inclusion in the online repository by emailing sharonbonney@coabe.org by April 15, 2013.
Check out conference pictures here and on our Facebook page, read all the tweets about the conference at #COABE13, and join in the discussion on our COABE LinkedIn group. Thanks again to our presenters, strand representatives, sponsors, exhibitors, and conference team for making this a memorable professional development experience for everyone!
Sincerely,
Renae Harrison
COABE Board President
