8th Annual NC Conference on Aging Cancelled For October, 2009

February 26, 2009

Due to the regulations issued by the Governor of North Carolina regarding a freeze on all state funding of discretionary travel and training, the Institute on Aging and its Conference partners regret that they must cancel the NC Conference on Aging originally planned for Raleigh in October. We intend that this is merely a postponement; at such time as the freeze is lifted, decisions will be made about when the Conference can be rescheduled. We intend to hold the Conference at the Raleigh Convention Center and Marriott Hotel as soon as we are able to do so. Our general listserv, ioanews, will receive the latest notifications of news about the Conference.
