AACN Annual Meeting--Request for Help
The American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology will be holding its annual meeting in Seattle on June 20-23, 2012. You do not have to be a member to attend. I would encourage you to actively consider this meeting. I think it has the best workshops in our field.
I am sure we are all proud of our city and will be delighted to show it off that week. I am compiling a restaurant and activities list for attendees and would appreciate your help. Please email me (wbmarlowe@comcast.net) your favorite recommendations (with address, phone number, description and website address if possible) in the next month so that I can include them in the list.
