The hall outside the general session room at this year’s Annual Membership Conference at the Monterey Plaza Hotel were alit with color and whimsy from the posters submitted for consideration in the Annual Schools Poster Contest.  The posters decorated the hallway for the duration of the conference during which attendees were encouraged to vote for their favorites. This year’s theme was "Truckers Are Champions of Commerce."
