NBA-WI 2007 Convention Highlights

  January 19-20, 2007

That's right! A Luncheon!  In a major change to our convention schedule, a noon time luncheon/general meeting will be held instead of the evening banquet.  It is hoped that more of the directors and guests attending the convention will be able to participate.  Also the cost is considerably less!  AND - You'll get to hear Col. Bourgeois address the membership - that's more than worth the price of the luncheon itself!  Note that we will still have a social hour at 4 p.m. on Saturday.  Evening dinner will be on your own as you wish prior to the concerts.

Colonel Bourgeois' speech can be read by following this link.

And as usual, the College All-Star Band presented an amazing performance led by Dr. Richard Mark Heidel (UW-Eau Claire), Dr. Tammy M. Fisher (UW-La Crosse), Dr. James C. Ripley (Carthage College), Dr. Barry Ellis (UW-Platteville), and UW-Eau Claire student conductor, Mr. Tim Baumann.
