The 2012 Annual Meeting promises to be a must-attend educational and fun event. Our speakers will address topics as varied as sports, childhood education, long term care issues, legislative issues, IBD, malnutrition, coding, new caloric needs determination, nutrition and occupational challenges, food service, cardiovascular updates, marketing, and the role of cocoa, chocolate and wine.
All meals are included, including the PADA Awards Dinner and the Chocolate and Wine Tasting. Over 11 CEUs will be offered for only $150.00, or over 13 CEUs will be offered for only $190.00 if attending the pre-meeting workshop. Hotel rooms are $105.00 plus taxes per night.
After the sessions on Sunday and Monday, complimentary transportation will be available for those who wish to try their luck at Hollywood Casino, which is nearby in Grantville, PA.
