Here are more highlights of this Conference:
- The general session will provide opportunities to hear how PATH Intl. has progressed over 50 years—and how it will grow for the next 50.
- You only turn 50 once, so let’s party! A fun-filled 50th anniversary reception will celebrate the association, the members, the history and the incredible, life-changing field of EAAT. Join special guests from the past and present including past board of trustees presidents, board members and CEOs. Enjoy mingling with guests including keynote speaker Jaycee Dugard and mix it up with hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar and one complimentary drink ticket. (We’re still looking for a sponsor to provide more!) This will be a great opportunity to make a contribution to the PATH Intl. Disaster Relief Fund all while leaving time to enjoy the rest of the night with friends. (Additional ticket required; not included with registration.)
