Planning Committee Registration

FROM: Lana Brooks, Supervisor
Early Learning Section, DESE
DATE: December, 2011

Thanks to your valuable input and assistance, plans for the 39th Annual Conference on the Young Years are well underway! We are excited about this year’s line-up of keynote and featured speakers. We will start things off with the Pre-Conference on Thursday. That evening, we are excited to present Larry Griffin as our Keynote speaker for all conference participants. Friday’s schedule features a keynote presentation from Vivan Paley, as well as presentations from Kevin Dolan, Lisa Campbell Ernst, Jill Molli and Stephen Fite. On Saturday, we’ll end the conference on a high note with a closing keynote address from Steve Metzger, and Peggy North-Jones will be our featured speaker.

We continue to need your help to ensure the smooth operation of the conference. There will be a Planning Committee dinner on Thursday, March 8, 2012 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in Parasol I to discuss assignments and other business. As a token of our appreciation, the conference registration fee (includes Friday lunch and Saturday breakfast) and lodging at Tan-Tar-A for Thursday and Friday nights will be complimentary. We would appreciate you sharing a room if at all possible.

Again this year you are able to register for the conference and make your lodging requests on-line by visiting http://www.regonline.com/2012cyy. We will need you to submit your information as soon as possible, but no later than noon on February 1, 2012. If we have not heard from you by this date, we will assume that you do not want lodging. Any cancellations in room reservations must be made 72 hours in advance to Jamie Schieber of Custom Meeting Planners at (573) 445-2965. Room reservations that are not cancelled within 72 hours will be billed directly to the assigned occupants by Tan-Tar-A Resort.

NOTE: Committee members will be needed to help during the Pre-Conference on Thursday. If you are interested in helping with this, please indicate the time at which you would be available when requested during the on-line registration process.

Again, thank you for your participation in the 2012 Conference on the Young Years and for your commitment to “building a successful future” for the young children with which you work. We hope to see you in March!
