Just a note for folks who will be coming to the conference. When you find our site at 555 Coleman Center Dr., you'll notice we're at the end of a fairly long drive. If you take a left at the T-intersection, then take the right, you'll find our parking lot. There are only a few visitor spaces, but you can park in any of the spots on the west end of the lot. Please use the east-side main entrance for the building.
Thanks,
Sharon Boehlefeld
The Observer staff and NINA board member
