Join us as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of ArkAHEAD!
Our spring Ark AHEAD conference will be held April 2-4th at the Fairfield Bay conference center. The board has decided on the theme, “Happy 30th Birthday Ark AHEAD; Past, Present, and Future” and the plan is to bring in a speaker for one day and have our knowledgeable members provide the other presentations for the conference. It is also during this conference that we present our 2 annual awards.
Proposals:
Proposals can go along with the theme (past, present, and future) or be anything you wish to present. Please submit your proposal at this link: https://arkahead.org/conf-proposal/
