<br>
My name is Glenn Oliveira and I am the Director of the Connecting for Change Conference. The 7th Annual Connecting for Change Conference, which will take place in downtown New Bedford, on October 21-23, is the premier SOLUTIONS BASED gathering in the region. We feel that the conference is vital resource to catalyze deep and positive change, in communities locally, regionally and nationally. <br>
<br>
Below I have pasted a press release for promoting the conference and the opportunity to save over 50% on ticket prices. We feel that this is an excellent value, but you should also know that for those who can't afford the discounted prices there is the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to attend. We feel that it is important to remove as many barriers to attendance as possible, including financial, because we should all have access to inspiration and solutions that can improve our community.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your consideration.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Sincerely,</span></span><br>
