October in Miami. Warm ocean breezes, crystalline beaches, and high-octane conversations and presentations with education leaders from every one of our 10 Southern states. The College Board issues a call: Join us at the Eden Roc Renaissance Miami Beach Oct. 23–24 for our annual regional forum. Stay an extra couple of days and enjoy the national event, Forum 2012.

Our hosts, the Southern Regional Council, led by Chair Tina McEntire, Secretary Gil Villanueva and Chair-elect Debbie Carrington, will greet you and promote stimulating, practical, provocative and success-based conversations. Want best practices in admission and enrollment? In financial aid? In K–12 education? In education policy? We’ve got just that.

Join McEntire, Villanueva and Carrington and the rest of our Southern Regional team in Miami in October and see how your involvement with the College Board can yield victories on your home turf and beyond.

I look forward to seeing you there.
