The climate in Colorado | | 4/2/2008 2:22 PM | | Posted by Al Summers |

A lot of talk about climate always comes up when we plan our annual conference. NMSA has been very fortunate in the past several years to have experienced an excellent climate at each of our conference sites. Now, of course, the talk has turned to Denver. What will the climate in Denver be like?
Well, I have experienced the climate first-hand and I can tell you that it is pretty fine. Last June, Dwight Jones was named Commissioner of Education for Colorado. Dwight has been an educator for over 20 years and part of that time was spent as a middle school principal.
NMSA had the opportunity to meet with Dwight last fall and it was obvious that he and his staff have the very best interest of the students, families/caregivers, and educators of Colorado at heart. He also truly understands the challenges of young adolescence. Middle level educators will find a true supporter in Dwight Jones.
Dwight has actually assigned two of his staff to work with the local planning committee in helping facilitate the conference. This is a sign of true commitment to the conference. As a matter of fact, Dwight has agreed to bring greetings during the Friday morning general session at the conference.

| Recommended Hotels? | | By Mike Spicer on 4/3/2008 6:01 AM |
Hi, I was just wondering if NMSA has set up any special rates with hotels in the area. |

Yes, Mike, with several hotels. Our spring brochure outlining them will be mailed soon and information on hotels and rates will be up on our Web site in a couple of months. Watch www.nmsa.org

We at the Colorado Department of Education are excited that NMSA has elected to hold its national conference in Denver this year. As one of the two department staff members working with the NMSA team, I can honestly say that NMSA and the local committee are doing yeoman's work to ensure this event exceeds your expectations! |
