PAY IT GREEN

UMACHA has adopted a new green initiative for the 2008 conference. In an effort to reduce waste and decrease the use of paper products at the meeting, there will be no paper copies of session handouts at the event.

One week before the start of the conference attendees will be provided a web link to the handouts available at that time. We hope you will take a minute to review the handouts and print any you would like to review. Notebooks will be provided at the event for taking notes. The handouts will be available electronically for 6 months after the conference.
