New:  Sustainability & Hot Topics Round Tables Sessions

We are pleased to offer attendees of the 2008 Annual Meeting the opportunity to explore topics of interest to you and your businesses.  On Monday, October 6, we will have round table topics that will focus on the area of sustainability.  On Tuesday, October 7, the round tables will focus on topics that you have the opportunity to recommend during the online registration process. ADS staff and the Annual Meeting Planning Committee will then review these recommendations and select the ones with the most interest to the membership. 

During the  session, attendees will be divided into groups of 6 - 10 participants and a moderator will be appointed.  No further preparation is needed...other than an open mind and willingness to share ideas and thoughts.   It's that simple!

Don’t forget to tell us your topic preferences when you register for the meeting.
