NCEMSF Supporter,

The NCEMSF Board of Directors is pleased to announce that the 15th
Annual National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Foundation
Conference will be held February 29 to March 2, 2008 in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Campus EMS volunteers from Philadelphia area campus EMS
organizations will help to coordinate this year's milestone event.

The NCEMSF leadership remains committed to providing the most
educational EMS conference anywhere at the greatest value. Help us to
capitalize on the successes of our previous conferences by making this
year's 15th Annual Conference the largest gathering of collegiate EMS
providers to date. Located less than 20 miles from historic Downtown
Philadelphia, two miles from Valley Forge National Historical Park,
site of Washington's troops winter encampment during the Revolutionary
War, and across the street from The King of Prussia Mall, the largest
enclosed retail shopping mall in the United States,
the Crowne Plaza Valley Forge will be this year's conference host
facility. Only a short distance from Philadelphia International
Airport and conveniently located at the junction of the Pennsylvania
Turnpike (I-276/476), the Schuylkill Expressway (I-76), and Routes
202 and 422, the Crowne Plaza Valley Forge is ideally situated.

NCEMSF will have full access to the entire facility for the duration
of the conference weekend. A special nightly conference rate of under
$100.00 (plus applicable taxes) and complimentary parking have been
negotiated. As in past years, conference registration fees will depend
on personal NCEMSF membership status and time of registration
ranging from $60.00 to $95.00 per attendee.

More information, including a complete fee schedule, instructions on
how to register and reserve hotel rooms, detailed travel information,
speakers, and information about special programs such as awards,
skills competition, and scholarship, will be posted on our Web site
shortly. Also, look for updates in the next issue of NCEMSF News,
which will be published and mailed by mid-September.

Interested speakers/program participants may submit a copy of their
resume along with an abstract and/or detailed outline of their
proposed session, being sure to highlight the topic's relevance to
campus based EMS, to conf2008@... or to the fax number below.
