Invitation From the Chairman and President Dear Friends: We are pleased to invite you to the NCBMP 2009 Fall Conference. As you look through the conference brochure, you'll discover, not just a great collection of workshops and sessions, but an array of opportunities and challenges; opportunities that can open up your career path to new ideas and challenges that can build your skills with cutting-edge information. Important, too, will be our time together. In recognizing how fragile and unsteady our industry is during these economic times, we have a tremendous professional responsibility to our peers. That's why our connecting and reconnecting within a spiritually positive community becomes so important. In strengthening our bonds of collective energy, we can replenish and rejuvenate ourselves and, upon returning home, bring to our jobs the kind of skills that promotes our careers as well as provide job satisfaction for our employers. In addition to innovative ideas that provide you with tools and techniques that work, there will be time for personal renewal and healing. Often, we're so focused on our jobs and our clients that we forget about the importance of restoring who we are as husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, and children, which in truth, contributes so much to the success of our careers. This coming December, 2009, at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort, can be a time to awaken and reawaken the human spirit...be part of an exceptional community, gain insights from pioneers in the field, and enjoy friendships that connect and reconnect. We look forward to being there with you to learn, relax, and have fun. Sincerely, Howard F. Mills, Sr., Howard F. Mills, Sr., CMP Stella Beene Venson Stella Beene Venson 3
