2006 Caregivers Conference Update

It's that time of year again that your ESP Conference Committee is working hard to create the 2006 Caregiver Conference. The committee has some really great changes we are excited to inform you about. We are holding the 2006 Caregiver Conference at Christ the King Church on Friday March 17, 2006, as we have outgrown our previous location. Our Key Note Speaker this year will be Dr. Patt Schwab. We have also increased our number of break out sessions to give more choices to our attendees. There are many more great changes we are working on, stay tuned for more information in the upcoming months. We look forward to seeing you at the 2006 Caregiver Conference.

The Caregiver Conference Committee would like to send a warm "Thank You" to all that have sponsored the 2006 Caregiver Conference Tote Bags. We can't do it without your support. This is a wonderful gift to be able to give our caregivers who attend this conference as well as a great way to get your business name out there. If you didn't get a chance to sponsor this year, you may think about sponsoring next year's tote bags.
