As an important reminder – the next
BPD conference on March 5-9, 2008 will be a history making event. It will
be not only the quality conference we all expect and receive from BPD; we will be celebrating our 25th Anniversary
as a BPD conference! It’s a big deal to have reached this important milestone
and the celebration events will be ones that you’ll remember a long time (at least to the 50th anniversary!). Please make your plans to attend and reserve your resort accommodations at the beautiful
and exciting Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in Destin, Florida. At this site you may want to come a day or two early or stay a day or two later at
the conference rate.
There is every indication that this conference
could match or even top our previous attendance records. Believe me there is
something for everyone at the Sandestin resort and the Baytowne Wharf
area. Additionally there were a substantial number of abstract submissions (which greatly pleased the organization's leadership
and conference planners). Our conference theme, “Honoring our Past, Celebrating
our Present, Affirming our Future” will set the tone for the 25th Celebration. Go to the website for conference information, resort reservations and updates. If you are not a current member please join BPD! We need you
on our active membership list!
If you are attending CSWE-APM soon be sure
to attend the BPD membership meeting on Monday, October 29th and following that the CSWE-sponsored BPD Cabaret
to kick off our 25th Anniversary Celebration in San Francisco at APM. Also be sure to visit the BPD booth for information on how to register for the conference
and resort accommodations. For online registration opportunities go to bpdconference@cswe.org on or after October 29, 2007
or visit the BPD website.
