Welcome: Good Things Come in Twos: Recapping Our 2007 Conference
by Sue Friedman
Good Things Come in Twos: Recapping Our 2007 Conference New Year’s is always a particularly meaningful time for me. It marks the time I embarked on my new career as an advocate, and it marks the birthday of FORCE. As I look forward to another year and more programs at FORCE I can’t help but reminisce about our beginning. We have grown so much in the last year; perhaps nothing reflects that growth as much as the success and expansion of our Joining FORCEs national conference.
If you weren’t able to attend the conference, or if you did join us and would like to review some of the excellent information provided, I have good news. Our 2007 conference exceeded expectations, and you can now access conference materials in two different ways: read the session recaps in this issue of Joining Forces or view our free webcast of select sessions at www.facingourrisk.org/webcast. The webcast is brought to you by FORCE, Moffitt Cancer Center, and is funded in part from the Charlotte R. Schmidlapp Fund, Fifth Third Bank, Trustee. I hope you’ll make time to take a peek at our webcast—I think you’ll be convinced how worthwhile it is to attend.
As we work on our 2008 conference, I grow more excited about the impressive agenda we have lined up. Until then, best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. See you in 2008, hopefully at the Joining FORCEs conference.
