It’s Official!
IWPA to host 2010 NFPW conference:
August 26-28, 2009

Negotiations are complete and thanks to Lana Brown, a member of IWPA and our sponsor at the Union League Club of Chicago, we will put on a conference no one will forget. Founded in 1885, IWPA will celebrate its 125th anniversary in the historic private club, which was founded in 1879, right in the heart of Chicago’s Loop. It will take a big team to pull this off so we need everyone’s help.

Cecilia Green and Suzanne Hanney will co-chair the conference. Plans now call for three days of pre-tours in Chicago Aug. 23-25 and Marlene Cook will chair the post tour following Rt. 66 through Illinois Aug. 29-31. Contact us to let us know you want to be involved. Leave a message at 312.458.9151 or email iwpa@comcast.net
