April 7-9, 2005
Renaissance Houston Hotel
Houston, TX
This year's theme on coming together in Texas to open new lives echoes AER's national recruitment materials. TAER was the winner of AER's special membership drive contest last year, and we're eager to welcome those 19 new members as well as others who joined later this year. We're also eager to have TAER take up the challenge of Operation One,the resolution the membership passed at last year's business meeting of each member bringing in one new AER member, bringing back one absentee colleague to the conference, and bringing one new person into our dynamic field.
The conference wil be held at the Renaissance Houston Hotel, conveniently located in the heart of Houston in the Greenway Plaza corporate complex. In grand tradition, the conference will kick off at noon on Thursday, April 7, and conclude at noon Saturday, April 9, 2005. If you're new to TAER, we promise you 48 hours filled with great exhibits, the President's Reception, an inspriring Awards Luncheon, informative presentations, and our infamous Silent Auction. You'll receive invaluable information, well-deserved recognition, and lots of great networking opportunities.
We look forward to your participation in the 2005 TAER conference and hope you will encourage your colleagues to join you in opening new lives. Registrations can be downloaded at <www.tsbvi.edu> or you may contact:
