It was further reported, the conference for next year will
be held in Anchorage, this will be the State, as well as the
Northwest Region. It will be held from May 20th through May
24th. There may be some funding available should some of
the commissioners wish to attend. An attractive package for
the conference is being prepared in hopes of gathering a
