Conference Agenda - Georgia 4-H
Conference Agenda
National Association of
Extension 4-H Agents
Welcome to Georgia, The Peach State
The University of Georgia Cooperative
Extension staff and volunteers have been
preparing for your arrival at the 2007
NAE4-HA conference for many years.
We are so excited that you have joined
us in Atlanta to celebrate 4-H: A Peach
of a Profession. We hope you will take
advantage of every opportunity afforded
by the conference to meet new people
and gain new knowledge during your time
in Georgia.
The CNN Omni Hotel is in the heart of
downtown Atlanta and steps away from
the Georgia Aquarium, The World of
Coca Cola, Centennial Olympic Park, and
the MARTA rapid transit station. Eating
establishments and shopping venues are
located on the west side of the hotel in
the CNN Center.
We want to extend Southern hospitality
during your stay. If you have any needs
please contact a Georgia delegate or visit
the information booth at registration. Our
goal is for you to enjoy the conference and
return home energized and motivated to
put new ideas to work.
Sincerely,
Sandra McKinney
Conference Co-Chair
Judy Ashley
Conference Co-Chair
