A Message From The President
I hope that everyone enjoyed the 2008 Conference. I hope that you got to meet at least one new provider from somewhere else in Kansas and that you can e-mail or phone each other often. I hope that Friday night sharing and resource was very informative for you and always remember if you ever have a question call your local emergency center.
The conference committee did an awesome job again this year. Many thanks to Shannon and Becky for all of their hard work. You two ladies are awesome!
They have already started working on the 2009 conference that will be held in Topeka. There will be some new ideas next year so be looking for them. I am already looking forward to next year's conference. Mark your calendars for it and tell all your provider friends about it too. Talk about it in your local groups and try and get everyone in the group to join CCPC and become an affiliate. Maybe your group can win Affiliate of the Year for 2009.
Thank you for your dedication to the young people of Kansas.
Donna Brown, CCPC President
