PROFESSIONAL DAY AND ANNUAL MEETING - In keeping with the spirit of a "minimal business" General Assembly, the LREDA Board decided to put all our internal events on Wednesday, June 20th. Check out the schedule.
Other exciting news - we'll be sharing a GIANT area in the exhibit hall with many of our religious professional organizations - it may well be the happeningest place in the convention center! Mosey on over to Booth 109.

Please let me know if you're putting on a workshop or would like to help with other arrangements (restaurants? Places to be? Transportation guidance? Tweet/Facebook Squad?) on the ground or beforehand.
