Professional Development Program
This year's professional development program includes a selection of sessions in five tracks:
Emerging Technology
The Young Professional

Operating for the New Challenge
In addition to the Professional Development Sessions, we are pleased to offer two exciting and intriguing speakers — Erik Wahl (Keynote) and John Mahaffie (Plenary).
Again in 2010, two APPA programs will be offered in addition to the conference:

We encourage you or your staff to take advantage of these valuable APPA professional development opportunities closer to home! The 2010 Annual Meeting will be a celebration of ERAPPA's

our industry. Professional development programming for this meeting will be future-focused and designed to assist education facilities professionals move forward.
