Dear AITF Members:

This is just a brief note in advance of this week’s conference on October 24 and 25 at the Sheraton Times Square Hotel in New York City. We are very excited about this event in honor of AITF’s Tenth Anniversary. Registration remains open. Thanks so much to all of you who are able to join us. We look forward to your participation. Whether or not you are able to attend, we are pleased to present to you our completed conference program . We are so appreciative of all of speakers and sponsors, and all who played a role in organizing this conference. As you can see in the program, we have an impressive lineup of leaders, who will share experiences from their work, and the our most substantial list of conference sponsors in our brief history.

This event is special not only because of AITF’s Anniversary. It is particularly compelling because it demonstrates numerous ways in which AITF is influencing the engagement of anchor institutions in various communities and fields across the country and, increasingly, globally. We hope that the conference will make an important contribution to our growing anchor movement.

Warm Regards,

David
