The OLAC 2012 Conference Committee is hard at work planning an exciting time for the membership in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  So far we have confirmed the following workshop leaders: Jay Weitz, Paige Andrew, and Bonnie Parks.  Watch the OLAC Newsletter for further announcements about speakers and events.

The Hyatt Downtown Albuquerque will be our conference site -- it's newly renovated and just opened a new restaurant will local twists on old favorites -- I promise you if you try the Green Chili Chicken pizza you will be delighted!

Consider making your plans early -- the conference will be held right after the International Balloon Fiesta so you may want to consider a combined vacation and conference trip.

My thanks to the Conference Committee and their hard work so far:  Elizabeth Miller, New Mexico State University, Chris Mueller and Brigitte Schimek of the New Mexico State Library, Rachel Hewett-Beah of the University of New Mexico's Gallup, Campus, and Bobby Bothmann of Minnesota State University, Mankato, who is a valuable source of prior conference experience and success stories.
