2011 IAHPERD Convention a Success

ICAPE concluded another successful IAHPERD Convention at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles on November 17th & 18th. ICAPE sponsored a dozen Adapted sessions that proved to be well intended and informative.

Special thanks to ICAPE’s John Dagger (AERO) for coordinating the Adapted sessions, and to Bob Szyman (Chicago St.) for securing our featured speaker Barb Chambers of Clark County Schools in Las Vegas, Nevada who presented three outstanding sessions.

Make plans to attend next year’s IAHPERD convention November 15-16, 2012 at Pheasant Run. Please contact John Dagger  if you are interested in presenting or have a topic you’d like to see presented.
