Annual Meeting 2010
Our Annual Meeting theme this year is “It’s About the Girls” which embodies our shared desire to maintain our focus on girls in everything we do – from direct program delivery to Service Unit management and council staff support.
Our meeting will be held at the Sun Valley Inn in beautiful Sun Valley, Idaho. We’ll kick off the meeting on Friday evening with our silent auction, raffle, and social time. Saturday’s events include presentations from CEO Shelli Rambo Roberson and guest speaker Darrel Harris, along with workshops, the Business Meeting, and more!
