As you know, CDS is celebrating 20 years of academic and community

excellence. We want you to be part of the celebration! Building on the

overwhelming positive outcome of previous Annual Pacific Rim Conferences and

harnessing the excitement of this anniversary, this will be a conference you

won't want to miss. We will have over 200 presentations, workshops and panel

sessions along with seminars. The schedule for all presentations will be on

the website within the next few days.

There is something for everyone including over ten topical areas,

interactive workshops, a film showing and a full line up of exciting

speakers and even a special fashion show. Pre-conference activities include

the International Forum 2008: Securing the Rights of Persons with

Disabilities where people from all over the world will be discussing the

rights of persons with disabilities. Updates on a weekly basis will be

provided on our website.

The exhibition spaces have sold out but there is still time to advertise in

our full color conference program. We invite you to call us to discuss

options. Please consider promoting your organization in our conference

program! We are always on the lookout for scholarship sponsors, which allow

us to underwrite the costs for self-advocates, parents, family members and

others who would not otherwise be able to afford to attend this event. We

welcome your continued support.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Aloha,

Shearer and Charmaine Crockett

A premier venue for sharing diverse perspectives, stimulating new thinking
