ALL ABOARD! MOSAC2's Annual Professional Development Institute 2012 

Join the Missouri School Age Community Coalition for this 3-day training event November 2-4, 2012 in St. Louis, Missouri.  Front-line staff, site coordinators, and administrators can all expect to have their professional needs met at this year's event.  This year's theme is "Laying Tracks for the Future."  You will encounter dynamic keynotes, fun and interactive breakout sessions, and plenty of networking opportunities.  Plus, your registration includes a one-year membership to MOSAC2 and the National Afterschool Association (NAA)!

**NEW**  This year we have partnered with the Missouri Girls Collaborative Project.  Missouri Girls Collaborative STEM Initiative is working to bring together organizations throughout the state that are committed to informing and encouraging girls to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education and careers.  What does this  mean for our conference attendees?  Saturday will include a STEM track with several sessions to choose from and a FREE dinner with a keynote (approved for clock hours).  You will have the opportunity to join others Saturday evening for dinner, networking, and a chance to learn about the grant opportunities the Missouri Girls Collaborative Project will have to offer.  We hope you join us!  Please RSVP for dinner when you register for the conference.  Learn more about the National Girls Collaborative Project by clicking here.

Don't forget to make hotel reservations!  This year we are staying at the beautiful Hilton St. Louis Frontenac.  Rooms are just $96/night.  Book before October 11th and mention MOSAC2 to make sure you lock in this special rate!
