Are you ready to "Find Your Oasis"? We hope you are planning on attending the CCBO annual conference this year in Palm Springs, CA. This year the conference returns to a popular site from a few years ago. I encourage you to read The History of Palm Springs to learn about this interesting place. Though "The Valley", as it is called, was the home of the Agua Caliente Indians thousands of years ago, Hollywood discovered this desert playground in the mid-1900’s. Just as this community grew from a desert to a flourishing community and economy, we are working hard to bring you interesting and insightful speakers with a focus on finding opportunities in the challenging environment our colleges are faced with today.
The conference is going to be filled with timely topics and terrific scenery and opportunities to enjoy the warm temperatures at the Westin Mission Hills Resort. There are many opportunities for fun and adventure, whether that be touring the desert to look at Joshua Trees, riding the Aerial Tramway to 8,500 feet above the desert floor, or a walking shopping trip in Palm Desert. Online registration will begin in February and consider bringing family members or a friend with you. I can speak from experience....they will thank you.
