NOICC Conference



Dear Guests:

     It is my pleasure to invite you to visit the beautiful Pacific Northwest for the 19th Annual SOICC Conference and to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the NOICC/SOICC network.
     The presentations and workshops will provide you with many valuable ideas for the practical application of "Lifelong Learning, Lifelong Earning." You'll return home eager to implement what you've learned.
     Tacoma is located on Puget Sound with the majestic Olympic Mountains to the west and breathtaking Mt. Rainier to the east--a perfect setting for business and recreation. This central location provides a good starting point for exploring local vineyards, ocean beaches, or for visiting Canada's cities of Vancouver and Victoria.
     While at the conference you will enjoy special social events like a cruise to Blake Island where we will enjoy an authentic Native American alder-smoked salmon dinner. The fun run will take place among the trees and flowers of Point Defiance Park. In addition, transportation will be available to take you to Seattle, Washington's Emerald City.
     So come visit me in my neck of the woods. We'll have a heckuva time.

Mike Paris
