ALTERNATIVES 2008 Adams Mark Hotel - Buffalo, New York
Make sure to mark your calendars for October 29 through November 2! NEC is looking for an image for Alternatives 2008. The theme for this year's conference is: Creating Community Through Active Citizenship "Out of the experience of creating community, consumer/survivors not only become conscious of being members of a group, but we begin to understand that our life has meaning, and we appreciate that our efforts make a difference as we become active citizens in the human community." We'd like to invite consumer artists to create an image that depicts the conference theme. Alternatives 2008 will be held in Buffalo, New York, "The City of Good Neighbors," October 29th - November 2nd, 2008. The image will be on all conference promotional items: the call for papers, registration form, conference brochure, participant bags and banners at the conference. The conference committee will choose the image and there will be a small monetary prize to the selected artist. We are on a tight schedule and need your submissions no later than February 4, 2008. Direct questions and submissions to Debbie Whittle at d.whittle@power2u.org or 978-717-6227 or mail designs to National Empowerment Center, 599 Canal Street, Lawrence, MA 01840.
