2009 PACA International Conference Recap
October 16-18, Miami Beach

It is hard to believe that just last week we were soaking up the sun and drinking margaritas at PACA’s 14th Annual International Conference in Miami Beach.

I want to thank everyone who attended this year’s event. I hope that you found it to be educational, encouraging, and motivating and that you were able to take away something of value for your company. The program committee was challenged with putting together a diverse program that every PACA member would benefit from while providing a venue that was conducive to networking and informal gatherings. It is my hope that we succeeded in doing so.

The committee would be grateful if you would complete a brief survey regarding the Conference by visiting tinyurl.com/PACAsurvey. Comment sections are included so please feel free to share any comments, suggestions, or criticisms you may have about the event. All responses are reviewed and considered when planning the next Conference. And please don’t feel like this is your only opportunity to share your ideas. At any time, if you have an idea that you think is worthwhile, please let us know. Send your ideas to contact Cathy Aron at execdirector@pacaoffice.org or internationalmeeting@pacaoffice.org.

Like many organizations, PACA thrives on the efforts of its volunteers. The programming for the conference would not have been possible were it not for the hard work and dedication of the following individuals:

• Lorena Arnold, Hola Images
• Nancy Carrizales, PACA Board Liaison
• Lauretta Dives, The Picture Desk
• Lynn Eskenazi, Friend of PACA
• Ruth Ritzema, Image Source
• Doug Dawirs, PACA Technical Advisor
• Rob Henson, Co-chair of the PACA Technology Committee

The program committee is always looking for new members. If you are interested and would like to find out more please contact Cathy Aron at execdirector@pacaoffice.org.

We look forward to seeing you in New York City in 2010!
