Our first publicity event will be to put together materials and a display for the 2008 conference, inviting members to Holland for the 2009 conference. I didn't manage to sell the notion that WMHSLA members would do a klompen dance for at the 2008 annual business meeting.

Jan. 29 -- Blog set up, check it out at http://mhslaconference09.wordpress.com

May 29 -- Added the registration form to the blog, and sent it to Mike for the MHSLA web page. Sent press release to Abe for the MHSLA newsletter -- see the attachment below! Or not. I uploaded it!

Conference Planning for the 2009 MHSLA Educational Conference, hosted by the Western Michigan Health Sciences Library Association. The meeting will be held from September 23-25, 2009 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Holland, Michigan.

Local Arrangement Committee meeting highlights:
On April 24, 2008, we selected the DoubleTree Hotel in Holland, Michigan as the site of the 2009 Conference, and set up committees.

On June 26, 2008, we selected a theme: Harness the energy! Power up! We are contacting an artist to design a logo with a wind power/windmill theme. Our hotel and proposed meeting dates were approved by the MHSLA Board. The Hospitality and Accommodations committees are reporting progress in working with the hotel, finding prospects for our "special event," and finding materials to publicize the Holland area.

Our next meeting will be held at the DoubleTree Hotel in Holland. The tentative date is Thursday, August 14. We will be meeting over lunch and touring the hotel. Members are encouraged to bring any hotel-related questions to this meeting. Contact WMHSLA president Brett Powers for meeting details.

January 29, 2009 -- Plans are coming together! Education Committee (Yvonne) is planning a "stimulus package" of programs; hotel was re-booked as we got "lost", menu choices are sounding good (I was ready for lunch when we finished at 10:30), we have a logo, Brett's looking into gifts/logo items, we talked about vendors, and we're working on our "public face" - a blog at http://mhslaconference09.wordpress.com . Check it out!
