The 2009 New Orleans Conference Planning Committee is delighted to invite you to Louisiana for what promises to be an extraordinary NSTA conference.
The journey has been long and arduous across the state as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and most recently Gustav and Ike, with many of our communities still on the road to recovery. But the excitement of renewal and rejuvenation abounds. New Orleans is well on its way to attaining its former glory, and you are integral to making that happen!
Whether a first-timer or veteran conference attendee, you are sure to find everything you need to help you grow both personally and professionally. We are planning a wide range of unique and engaging sessions, field trips, meetings, and presentations that will bring a wealth of research, teaching strategies, and networking opportunities, truly emulating the axiom of NSTA President Page Keeley’s administration: “Transition to Transformation: Striving for a Science-literate Nation.” The resurgence of interest in the sciences is creating a sense of urgency across the nation to attract students to science and increase science literacy. As NSTA members, we are on the leading edge of this revival!
So meet us in New Orleans as we come together to celebrate the year of science. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
—Jean May-Brett, Brenda Nixon, and Paul Johnson (Conference Committee Leaders)
