Dear Partner in Bilingual Education,

The Idaho Association for Bilingual Education,  (IABE) will hold its 17th annual conference on January 28-29, 2010 at the Holiday Inn in Boise, Idaho.  This conference serves teachers, administrators, and  para-professionals in the areas of bilingual education, English as a Second Language, migrant education, English language development, and other programs that serve linguistically and culturally diverse students from kindergarten to 12th grade.  Although our main focus is in the area of bilingual education and ESL, regular mainstream teachers will also be attending this conference. We generally have between 250-300 educators from Idaho and Eastern Oregon in attendance.

We invite your company to display your books and educational materials of interest to the conferences attendees.  We will provide an attractive, easily accessible space for a table fee of $25.00.  If you choose not to display books and or material, but would like to participate by sending us fliers or catalogues of your bilingual/ ESL materials, we would be delighted to make these available in the vendor area for attendees.  We would also welcome any other contribution that you see fitting!

Please mark your level of participation on the enclosed form and return it to me as soon as possible so that appropriate arrangements can be made.   You may also reach me at 208-678-2086 (home) or e-mail me hermarta@sd151.k12.id.us if you have any questions regarding participation in the conference.  The room for the vendor displays will be accessible Thursday noon, January 28, 2010.

Thank you for your support and interest.

Sincerely,

Marta A. Hernandez
IABE Secretary
