[nabs-l] Preregister for the annual NABS Business meeting. Come early, and win some cash!

[Joshua Lester]

Hi, Bridget!
This is my problem with the NFB!
We have too many divisions, so we're forced to overlap the division meetings at conventions!
I feel we should root out divisions that we don't need!
That's just my 2 cents worth!
For instance, I'd merge the musicians group, with the Performing Arts division, so it will just be one meeting, instead of two.
Blessings, Joshua

Hi,

I am a member of both NABS and NAGDU along with being a prospective teacher.
After looking at the schedule I am having a hard time knowing where I need to be at all times. Many of the events I wish to attend are being held at the same time.
How can I make sure i am reaching as much information as possible if all of the division  meetings overlap? This is my first time at nationals.
Any advice is appreciated

Thanks,

Bridget

This year's agenda is packed, and we don't want you to miss out on any of the exciting and engaging presentations slated for the meeting. To encourage you to come a bit early, we will be entering everybody who is registered by 6:30 (not in line to register, but actually through the line and in the ballroom) into the door prize pool twice rather than once. So, you say, what's the big deal? Well my friends, the big deal is that we have excellent door prizes up for grabs, including a little bit of $$$. We will also be playing a variety of music in the meeting room during registration for your listening pleasure. So, come out early, chat with fellow students while waiting, and double your odds of walking out of the meeting with a fatter wallet!

> Do you want to avoid that long registration line? Well, ask, and you shall receive. Thanks to the NABS website team, the NABS board is pleased to offer you the option of preregistering for the meeting. If you opt to do so, you will only need to provide your name or email address on meeting day, pay to register, and walk right in. Preregistrants will have their own faster-moving line and will be able to skip providing all their contact info. So, visit the preregistration form at:  http://nabslink.org/drupal/content/register-2013-nabs-annual-meeting and simplify your life!
