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 1 General Information Please wear your nametag to all functions.
