Fall Leadership Conference

We are pleased to announce the 2004 Fall Leadership Conference to be held at the Safety Harbor Resort

and Spa, Safety Harbor, Florida, on September 28-29, 2004. As the K-12 Chancellor, I am planning on

being there to kick off the conference at 1:00 p.m. on September 28. As you will see from the attached

tentative agenda, there are many exciting topics of interest. The target audience is district-level volunteer

coordinators, family and parental involvement coordinators, Title I parent liaisons, business partner

coordinators and community involvement coordinators.

A block of rooms is being held at the Safety Harbor Resort and reservations must be made before Friday,

September 3, 2004, in order to obtain the special room rate of $89.00 for single or double occupancy. The

hotel is located at 105 N Bayshore Drive, Safety Harbor, Florida. You may make your hotel reservation

by calling (727) 726-1161 or 1-888-237-8772. If you have questions or need more information, please
