Can you please set up a dictionary of terms for us all to add to in an A-Z format and for those of us from outside the USA that are not familiar with your various associations, a section on Acronyms. Likewise we can add terms used here. You have at least six above to kick it off.

Just got back from meetings discussing this event on Oct. 6th in Colorado Springs. It will be amazing! I have never attended the World Health Conference before and can't wait. The topics and speakers are completely different from what you will find at other industry events and will be a real eye opener I'm sure.

Hope to see some of you there! You can find out more at http://www.NSPF.org
