This is the Cathedral of St. Francis in Santa Fe, New Mexico, up the street from the La Fonda hotel. That’s where I was staying for our second annual conference. We had a fabulous conference with over 350 attendees (some estimates were near 400!). Of that, we had about 1/3 students and almost half of all the participants were locals from New Mexico. It was a great conference, and leaps and bounds beyond the first conference (which I ran) back in 2004.

During the conference, I moderated our panel entitled Local Crisis, Global Challenge: HIV/AIDS in New Mexico and the World. I also co-moderated a panel on our PAC. I also conceived of and helped carry out our Saturday Morning Cartoons, but more on that in another post.
