Our monthly convention planning meeting was held on September 4, 2007 at NAPS Headquarters. For your information, we are scheduling Ray Martin to provide the full executive board with a presentation of the convention plans at our fall board meeting.

In advance of our meeting, we want you to have the following information for local meetings you may attend representing your region/area prior to the board meeting:
