33rd Annual SALIS Conference May 3 - 6, 2011

Save the Date! Planning has begun for the 33rd Annual SALIS Conference, which will meet in Kansas City, Missouri on May 3-6, 2011.  Laurie Krom, Director of the Addiction Technology Transfer Centers National Office (ATTC) will host. The conference theme and a call-for-abstracts will be posted soon, along with other details as they develop.

Each year, the SALIS Conference gets better and better! Start planning now to join us next year in Kansas City -- located in America's Heartland, and boasting a rich tradition in America's history.  Here's a little something to get you thinking about Kansas City: Enjoy!
