Regional Conference Updates
Thanks to all NACAS regions for including the Flip-a- Coin fundraiser at their conferences! Most recently, NACAS East contributed to the NACAS Education Foundation at it's annual conference and the NACAS Central and NACAS West regions plan to contribute at their joint conference scheduled for June 12-15.

Members should look for the Flip-a- Coin fundraiser at all NACAS conferences. For only twenty dollars, members can donate to the Foundation and have fun watching one person walkaway with a prize like an iPad. Who knows? The next winner could be you!
