Dear Colleagues,

Abstracts are being sought for the 38th annual AIC conference to be held in Milwaukee, WI May 11-14, 2010.  The theme for the meeting is the Conservation Continuum: examining the past and envisioning the future.  Please consider the changes that you have made to treatment choices over the years based on available materials, changes in technology, or simply past treatment re-evaluations.  The theme is quite open to interpretation and we look forward to an exciting group of presentations!   Please contact me with any questions or if you are interested in seeing (and presenting) at a TSG tips session.
