Our 2010 Program
Our 2010 conference
theme is "From Backyard to Backcounty and the Trail Between". As you can see from our conference highlights page, we have retained some of the most popular offerings from past years, while adding some very timely topics and dynamic keynote speakers.
Additionally, Bob Myrick and other members of the host committee have set up some scenic walking and biking field trips before, during, and after the conference that we think will appeal to many of you.
Should you have specific questions, Pete Beaupain, assisted by Greg Lovelady, is serving as the Conference Program Committee Chair; Ernie Bay, with support from Jayme Gordon, is serving as the Conference Host Committee Chair; John Keates is serving as the Conference Exhibit/Vendor Chair; Rick Hood and Cec Vogt are serving as the Outreach Committee Co-Chair; Rick Hood and Michael Linde are serving as the Scholarship Co-Chairs; Bob Myrick, assisted by Ernie Bay, is serving as the Field Trip Chair and Reed Waite is serving as the Registration Chair.
