Several local Association leaders are encouraging members to carpool and share hotel rooms to defray the cost of participating in the conference. They highly encourage colleagues around the state to do the same.
The first 100 members who register for the MLT Conference will receive a special gift. See you at MLT! For more information, visit our website or contact Dr. Pamela Fossett at pamela.fossett@alaedu.org.
