Our Spring Conference was held in Mid-March in Tucson. We had an attendance record of 200+ people. We had 28 vendors, which is also a record high for our state. Our theme was "Rolling in the Information". We had several topics in regards to automating our processes from tribal forms, to loans, to automating the summer financial aid process. One of our general sessions was "True Colors". The speakers Bruce and Kathy Martin did an excellent job of getting the audience involved and participating in the session. Over all the conference was a success.

We are gearing up for our Summer Transition meeting. It will be held June 13-14th. Our fall conference will be October 16-18 in Prescott, AZ.
