Thanks for the Memories
Phoenix turned out to be a great conference thanks largely to the tireless efforts of volunteers and speakers. NICAR and IRE would like to send special thanks to speakers and demo room lecturers.
The conference would have been impossible to put on without the help of reporters, editors, researchers and professors across the country. Plans are already being made for next year's conferences. NICAR will hold its national conference March 5-8 in Indianapolis, IN. The IRE National Conference will be held in The Big Easy - New Orleans, LA - June 4-7. For information or to register, call Lisa Barnes at (573) 882-8969. We're also looking for any suggestions for improvements for next year's conferences and welcome any volunteers or speakers who want to participate. Submit your ideas to lisa@ire.org
