We have a good news/bad news situation. The bad news is that the deadline for registering at a reduced rate for the SNAP National Conference expires in just ten days. The good news is that you have 240 more hours to register for what is promising to be the most amazing conference in SNAP history.
The conference has a spectacular list of speakers (see full schedule below), educational breakout sessions, a chance to visit with old friends and make new ones, and last but not least, spend a few days in the Windy City.
Chicago has two airports, a train station, bus service and highways from everywhere. Form a group and go on a road trip, take the train and see the country, fly and eat peanuts, you can even walk but leave early if you do! Just come! Register here!
Want to come but find it difficult to pay the full price for the conference? Please consider volunteering and you can receive a discount. For more information about volunteer opportunities please send an email to: SNAPdorris@gmail.com.
That time is almost here! Come join us in the Windy City July 11-13 to participate in breakout sessions and hear some amazing speeches. The speaker list includes:
Frank Keating

We'll also have early morning walks along the lake front, a silent auction and so much more.
