A Note from the Conference Co-Chairs
Gretchen Boyer & Tim Corson, Montana Academy


The NATSAP 2008 Rocky Mountain Regional Conference is geared towards Direct Care staff, the lifeline of all of our programs. All speakers will be relevant to front line staff and so we encourage all programs to send as many direct care staff as possible.
