ConferenceMarriott Crystal Gateway Hotel | Arlington, VA | December 1-5, 2007
Welcome On behalf of the NECTAC staff, I am proud to welcome you all to the 2007 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference. We hope that you will find the conference sessions and opportunities to interact with your peers to be motivating and packed full of useful information. The 2007 conference is dedicated to the memory of Pascal (Pat) Trohanis,
the beloved former Director of NECTAC, who passed away in June, 2007. Pat hosted the annual early childhood conferences with his inimitable warmth, humor, and insight for almost 30 years. Especially as we gather for the plenaries and chat with friends and colleagues at the breaks, we will feel his absence and renew our commitment to our mutual mission to improve the lives of young children with special needs and their families. Please join us on Monday evening to remember and celebrate Pat’s life and accomplishments. In the spirit of Pat’s love of life, early childhood conferences, friends, and learning- the NECTAC staff say, “OPA!” Enjoy the conference!
Lynne Kahn, Interim Director of NECTAC, and the NECTAC staff
