2009 Conference & Annual Meeting
Join your colleagues at the 2009 conference on the edge of an erupting volcano, at Kilauea Military Camp just across the street from Halema'uma'u Crater. The volcano and Kilauea are more beautiful than ever - exciting, powerful, and maybe a little dangerous; a good place to meet in times like these, to renew ties and find out how your colleagues and their institutions are coping with the difficulties of our day.
