MARC Goes Green
In recognition that we can all do our part for the environment, MARC is pleased to announce a move to “go green.” Join us in a commitment to reduce our reliance on paper handouts and disposable cups. Attendees will receive electronic copies of handouts for all sessions the week before the conference. This way you can bring copies of the information for sessions you plan to attend. (Printers will be available onsite, but we encourage you to plan ahead so that you have what you need when you arrive onsite.) In addition, quench your thirst with water bottles provided by our green sponsor, WealthEngine. Coolers will be available onsite so you can refill and refresh!
MARC gratefully acknowledges the support of WealthEngine, our sponsor in the green initiative!
Support MARC 2008 and Volunteer Today
It takes many hands to pull together a conference. We’re looking for volunteers to help with the event by serving as room monitors and checking in attendees at registration. If you are interested in serving, please contact Jennifer Falcon.
Have Fun and Promote MARC in the Chapter Contest
In a friendly competition, chapters in the Mid-Atlantic region are challenged to help promote MARC and attendance at the 10th anniversary of this unique conference. The two APRA chapters with the greatest percentage of conference attendance will each receive one complimentary scholarship to cover the registration fee for the 2009 event. This way, both large and small chapters will have the same chance of winning; size will not put one group at an advantage over another. Membership size will be calculated based on totals reported to APRA.
As of May 30th, Chapter attendance is as follows:
- PREP/APRA – 36 (56%)
- APRA-Maryland – 8 (27%)
- APRA-Greater New York – 15 (15%)
- APRA-Metro DC – 16 (10%)
- APRA-Virginia – 8 (10%)
- APRA-Upstate New York – 9 (9%)
Look who’s coming (as of 5/30/08) — will you be here too?
MARC is in joint partnership with APRA International and co-sponsored by APRA-Metro DC, APRA-Virginia, APRA-Maryland, APRA-Greater New York, APRA-Upstate New York and PREP/APRA.
