First, what topics or speakers would you be interested in for continuing education courses, posters, speeches, and other programming?

Second, what should we call this meeting?  ”Philadelphia Regional, Mid-Atlantic, and New York/New Jersey tri-chapter meeting 2009 Atlantic City” is a bit long, and not very catchy.  We welcome your suggestions.  Here are a few to think about and build on:

• Trilogue 2009
• Triumvirate 2009
• Tri-chapter MLA 2009
• Triple threat 2009
• Triumph in AC

We’re also accepting logos (or even just ideas for logos if you can’t draw)  to go along with the meeting name.

Third, what should be the theme of the meeting?  Here are some concepts to get you going on this one:
Atlantic City, shore, seashore, shells, sand, surf, sun, fun, beach, boardwalk, hotel, casino, risk, gamble, fall, autumn, three, tri-, medical, health, healthcare, health information, medical, medicine, chapters, etc.
Some possibilities:

• Under the boardwalk
• Risks and Rewards
• Fall into Fun
• Sea and be Seen
• Casino Royale

What do YOU think?  Send your ideas to Rachel Resnick no later than October November 1, 2008.
