IACLEA:
Steve – Nothing new at this time. Next Board meeting will be in the middle of November 2005.
Conference Discussion:
General belief that the conference should be held at a location that is central to most schools. The attendance at the Fall Conference was almost split 50-50 between the east and west sides: 18 schools from the west and 17 from the east. Main discussion centered on the cost of getting good speakers to an off the beaten path location.

Fall Conference 2006 will be held in the Tri-Cities October 11, 12, and 13, 2006. The facility will be selected at a later date.
