Todd McFarren, Esq., Convention Chair

2007 Winter Convention

If solid seminars and intelluctually challenging discussions are the criteria, then the San Deigo convention was a success.From MSC statements to S&W petitions; from outing MPNs to disabusing U.R.; from MSAs to measuring pain,the programs expanded our knowledge in many directions and sharpened our skills.

The exihibitors were gracious and informative. It was great to see Mark Hayes and VIAW sharing their experiences with all who would listen. Their work is instrumental in our legislative efforts.The current political climate and our prospects in Sacramento were vetted with our legislative advocates. The road forward is clear. Our  struggle to protect injured workers' rights unites us in these tough times.

My favorite part of every convention is meeting old friends and making new ones. San Deigo was a wonderful venue for both. See you all in San Francisco.
