Affiliate Sessions
Rebuilding Together is soliciting its affiliate leaders and colleagues to make presentations on successful or innovative programs and/or activities that they would like to share with our network at our Annual Conference. We invite you to submit a proposal for the 2010 National Conference in Las Vegas, NV.
All submissions must be received by June 4, 2010.

If your proposal was not selected for the 2010 National Conference we may ask you to conduct a webinar in 2011 on your subject area. Download the application.
