Provender Conference 2012 Update

In an effort to collaborate with our sister organization, NPA-NW, Provender has moved our conference up a week into September to avoid conflicting with their annual trade show. Reserve your dates now for the 36th Annual Conference, Inspiring Resilience, Sustaining Action, September 26-28th, 2012 in Hood River, OR.

Our featured keynote speaker on Thursday morning is Maude Barlow, board chair for Food & Water Watch. On Friday keynote speaker will be Matthew Dillon of Seed Matters.

The Provender Conference will inpsire and educate you as well as celebrate our successes. And don't miss Karaoke From Hell! Check the web site for conference details as they become available. We look forward to seeing you there!
