growth at AHG, get your feet, knees, or face into the pool and do a presentation
on a practice or process that you feel is innovative and can contribute to the
collective knowledge of our slowing emerging profession.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Howard Kramer is now soliciting proposals for the 9<SUP>th</SUP> Annual
Accessing Higher Ground Conference. Though the minutes of the ATHEN meeting at
last years conference are not posted on the ATHEN website, ATHEN as a body voted
in favor of supporting Howard and the Conference by (1) submitting proposals to
the conference, (2) attending the conference as members of ATHEN, and (3)
actively promoting the conference and seeking outside individuals to present.
