Spring 2009 Symposium
"Transforming Crisis Into Opportunity"
More than 200 people attended the April 16 spring symposium and listened to - and asked questions of - a host of experts in public finance, international economics, program administration and budget formulation. The symposium caught the attention of the Federal Times, which wrote up the session on Saving Time and Money with BFELoB Tools. Click here for its report.
We shall be posting slides and notes from the panel sessions and keynote speakers as soon as these become available. Click here for the Links to Spring, 2009, Symposium Notes and Reports page.
At the symposium, AABPA contributed to the Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB), in support of its food distribution and community-building activities. According to the CAFB, one pound of food equals one meal, and one dollar provides three pounds, or three meals. Thus, the ninety pounds of food, plus $238 in cash donations, are providing a total of 804 meals to the community!
Thank you!
