Conference Information

Tickets are $1.00 each or $5.00 for six tickets (for the same raffle). Winners will be announced on the last day of conference (April 30th), and you do not have to be present to win.
Presales are a big part of our sales and crucial to our success. Money raised helps to offset the costs of conference. If you are interested in selling tickets now or if you have questions, please email ME ONLY or call me. Please do not respond to this group email. I can pouch out tickets as early as today. You can either bring the money and tickets with you to conference, you can send it by someone in your agency who is attending conference, or you can pouch it back to me. If you pouch it, I must have it no later than Thursday, April 24th.
Please feel free to post the flyer and share it with everyone. You do not have to be a member of POSSESS to buy a ticket, and you do not have to be present to win. Thank you.
