The CIWMB, in conjunction with LEAs, held the 4th Annual Conference in San Diego on
August 29-31, 2000. This conference, entitled "21st Century Partnership" was
held at the Catamaran Resort Hotel. Over 176 LEA and CIWMB staff participated in an array
of panels, exhibits and presentations. The agenda is available on
the Internet and information on the various agenda items is available for those who
attended as well as those who did not.
Day 1

"Less Paper" Theme - In an effort to reduce paper waste, each
conference attendee received only a thin binder with the agenda, meeting room maps and key
information. Most PowerPoint presentations and other "handouts" were made
available via the Internet at the LEA Conference web site using recycled
electrons!
