It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 2010 CAPG Healthcare Conference, an event that has been designed to help you and your organization meet the challenges of this extraordinary time.

This year's General Sessions will feature the most respected experts in healthcare today. Dr. Atul Gawande, a nationally known surgeon, author and former senior health policy advisor in the Clinton administration, and Dr. Elliott Fisher, a major voice in the development of the Accountable Care Organization, can both be expected to generate lively discussions. The third General Session will be a panel on Healthcare Reform, examining the latest status of the reform effort, bringing together varied viewpoints, and providing answers to your questions.

As always, a wide variety of educational breakout sessions will be presented, many offering CME credits. There will be many opportunities to network, share ideas and enjoy the company of friends. Don't miss our Rio Carnivale-themed Friday night Exhibit Fair and Strolling Dinner, where members, guests, Sponsors and Exhibitors all get to know each other. These Sponsors and Exhibitors make our Conference possible, and I hope you'll stop by and thank them.

I'd also like to remind our members that the Desert Springs JW Marriott is an excellent venue for your own executive planning meeting or staff retreat. Let us know if you'd like to schedule an event, and we'll help you make the arrangements.

Please review this Conference brochure, and call us if you have any questions. We anticipate a large attendance at this year's event and I urge you to register as soon as possible.

The Board of Directors and I look forward to seeing you May 13-16 in Palm Desert.
