2010 State Convention

We are excited to announce this year’s event will be held in Los Angeles on April 16-18. We will be gathering for a very important weekend of strategizing and socializing and more importantly mobilizing as we look at the year ahead.

We will be launching the official convention web site mid-February, which will serve as a one-stop shop for registration and complete event details. However, you may reserve your accommodations now by clicking here.
