* Registered as an unincorporated organization in the state of California.
I would like to welcome you to the 4th Annual Conference of the Society for Advancement of Brain Analysis (SABA). We have put together what we believe is a superb scientific program. We hope you will find it educational and stimulating to your practice. We are very pleased to have such a distinguished panel of speakers. It would not have been possible to put on this program without the assistance of John Cline, Richard Hansen, John Kelley, Tamara Lorenson, Robert Reynolds, and Jolene Ross. I hope that you will take the opportunity to partake in the beauty of Alaska. Many attractions and side trips are available for you to schedule on your own for your enjoyment. I give major thanks to Sandy Salute for her extraordinary efforts in arrangements for this trip. I welcome your feedback of this program, its content and organization, via the formal feedback form and personally. Your input is beneficial in the development of this organization and of future programs to better serve your educational and professional needs. As you know, we have officially become a formal organization in the process of applying for status as a non-profit educational/research corporation. We will welcome volunteers to handle some of the tasks in implementing our goals, so please attend our short membership meeting scheduled later this trip. Sincerely, M. Barry Sterman SABA President |
