We’re very excited to announce that the next O&M conference of the Southeastern O&M Association (SOMA) will return to the Hilton Tampa Airport Westshore December 12-15, 2020! This is the same hotel where we had such a successful SOMA conference last year, with about 300 attendees – if you want to go nuts, look at the 40 presentations and workshops we had last year! So mark your calendar and make plans to come, check out our website at http://somaconference.org, and start thinking about what you’d like to share with your colleagues and friends. As always, we especially encourage those of you who never presented before to come share your insights and ideas – some of our most highly-rated sessions were by newbies like yourself! We’ll help you put your thoughts together and provide you with a mentor if you wish. WE’D LOVE TO HAVE YOU ON OUR TEAM! The 2020 SOMA Team – Eileen, Mickey, and Dona, would love to have you join us to plan the next SOMA conference. It is very rewarding and a great opportunity to learn what goes on behind the scenes, which is essential if SOMA is going to continue for future generations of O&Ms and Guide Dog Mobility Instructors. -- The SOMA Team Eileen Bischof - eileenbischof@yahoo.com Mickey Damelio - mailto:-mickeydamelio@gmail.com Dona Sauerburger - dona@sauerburger.org WEBSITE: http://somaconference.org
