[Athen] The Early-bird Registration for the 2024 Accessing Higher Ground Conference Ends Friday, September 20

[Jeanne Wielgus via athen-list]

Hi Howard,

I have been unsuccessful getting the ATHEN discount code from Luz - the
email listed on the AHG site bounces and Luz has not responded to my
request sent to the alternative gmail account for her you gave me.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide,
~jeanne
