National Braille Association

Spring 2012 Professional Development Conference

 

The National Braille Association is pleased to announce that we will be
heading to St. Louis, Missouri for our next conference.  Known as the
Gateway to the West, the Gateway Arch greets visitors to this cultural
and historic city! St. Louis boasts of historic and cultural
attractions, many of which are free. Get a glimpse of where Lewis and
Clark set out on their historic expedition by visiting the Lewis & Clark
Boat House and Nature Center, or the Lewis & Clark monument on the
Missouri River. Interact with butterflies at the Sophia M Sachs
Butterfly House.  Roam the Missouri Botanical Garden, a National
Historic Landmark with 79 acres of scenic landscaping and elegant
structures. Journey to the top of the Gateway Arch, our nation's tallest
man-made monument at 630 feet. Relax on a Riverboat cruise; or immerse
yourself in a little arts and culture. If you are feeling adventuresome,
there is a wealth of attractions to see and experience. 

 

Our host hotel is the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac, a destination
synonymous with elegance and comfort. It is steps away from the Plaza
Frontenac, with over 50 specialty shops, six restaurants, and a movie
theater. 

 

Once again, we are looking forward to our 5-of-5 workshop series.  As
usual, topics will include but are not limited to literary, textbook and
Nemeth format, music, computer-assisted transcription and tactile
graphics.  Just to pique your interest here are a few of the sessions
being developed just for you:

*         Literary:  Proofreading

*         Tactile Graphics: Guidelines and Formats

*         Music Braille: Simple Songs to Opera Librettos 

*         Textbook Formats: Overview of Format Changes

 

Keep checking back!  Additional information will be posted on the NBA
website as details become available.
