[Oasfaa] OASFAA Spring Conference registration and Agenda

Wed Feb 20 09:13:03 CST 2008

Hello everyone,

I know many of you have been asking about the conference agenda and
registration so I want to give you an update.

Thanks to the hard work of the Program committee the agenda is almost
finalized. I have attached a copy of the tentative agenda so you can
review it. We have an excellent variety of sessions with relevant topics
on issues we all need to be aware of and address.

The hotel reservation dead-line of March 2nd is quickly approaching. We
have a reserved conference rate of $89 a night. If you reserve your room
after that date the conference rate may not be honored so please
register before March 2nd if possible. 

You can do so from the following link: Sheraton Midwest City Hotel at
the Reed Conference Center
<http://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=080
1247664&key=8923E>   

Our conference registration site is not up and running. There are a few
updates to be made but we hope to have that up soon. The conference
registration fee will be $105 for the Spring Conference. I will send
another e-mail out to the list serve when the registration site is up
and running.

If you have any questions please let me know and I will be glad to
assist you in any way possible and thank you for your patience.

Thanks and have a great day.

Subject: [Oasfaa] OASFAA and Citizens Caring for Children

All, 

The OASFAA Program Committee would like to announce Operation Backpack
as the Spring collection drive for our service project, Citizens Caring
for Children.  For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the
organization's work, "Citizens Caring for Children breaks the cycle of
abuse and neglect for Oklahoma foster children by addressing their
material, emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs ... because every
child deserves the chance for a better life.  Through our programs we
promote self-worth, self-esteem and develop character to give HOPE,
CHANGE LIVES and BUILD FUTURES."

Our hope is to provide socks, underwear, and backpacks for some of the
school-aged children in Oklahoma foster care.  Using the Fall 2007
conference registration lists, we have divided the membership into 4
teams.  Please see the summary to see where your organization falls.  If
your organization has inadvertently been left off the list, please let
me know immediately so this can be remedied.  We would love to have
participation from your entire office's staff, so even those who cannot
attend the conference are encouraged to participate.

Team captains will serve to help set a team goal and encourage and
motivate their team members.  Team captains are Michelle Howard of
Sallie Mae, Melissa Moody of BancFirst, Monique Jackson of IBC, and
Tricia Johnson of Wells Fargo.  Collection will be done at the
conference and the tallies and the winning team will be announced at
Thursday's lunch.  There are many convenient shopping opportunities near
the Reed Center, so last minute shoppers, never fear!

Should you have questions, don't hesitate to either contact your team
captain or any one of the members of the Program Committee:
