Go to http://www.northeastcouncil.org/convention/, click on "History" and enjoy your tour.

What will the theme and logo be for our 37th Convention... have you submitted a theme yet? Who will our speakers be? The Convention will be held at the Cromwell Crowne Plaza hotel from March 23-25, 2011. Mark your calendars and plan on attending.
