Learning Environment
_______________________________________________________________


               We are committed to a learning environment that is optimum for all attendees.  Therefore please
               turn off all pagers and cell phones.  Non-emergency calls can be made to the hotel.  We will place
               these phone calls on a message board outside the conference meeting room.

              Quiet infants under 6 months are welcome.  However, restless infants will require immediate
               attention.  If your baby becomes vocal, please care for your baby outside the meeting room.  We
               ask that you do not bring older babies or children into the sessions.  A room for pumping will be
               provided.

                Often in large meeting places it is difficult to maintain a room temperature which is comfortable to
                 all;  therefore, bring a sweater or jacket in case the room becomes cool.
