Look Out Vegas, Here We Come!

By Dana Neuts | August 30th, 2010

The SPJ National Convention is just over a month away. This year the conference will be held in Vegas and I, for one,
am grateful to see it on this side of the Mississippi. Visiting the East Coast was great, but Vegas is a little closer to home
for me. This year’s program proves to be new and different too, which also has me excited. For those of you planning on attending, here are some additional resources you might find helpful:

I’ll be attending the convention as a member of the board, as well as to participate in a number of sessions. Look for me during the Pro Chapter Leadership brainstorming session, Regional Business Meeting, Opening and Closing Business Meetings, and Freelance Workshop. Want to connect while in Vegas? You can reach me via email or on my cell phone (voice or text) at 360-920-1737.

Hope to see you there!
