Tansey Event at the VRA Conference 2012: Flamenco!
Fee: $40
Event at the Hotel Albuquerque, April 20, 8:30-10:00pm
Note: Dessert and beverages will be served. Please eat dinner on your own before the event.
Experience live Flamenco dancing and music by the UNM dance program company, Alma Flamenca, in partnership with the National Institute of Flamenco. After you've had dinner, come back to the Hotel Albuquerque and we'll supply lively, sensual and colorful dancing and Spanish guitar, finishing off your evening with desserts and beverages. This is the premier opportunity to support the Tansey Fund for Travel Awards, an important source of funding that helps to bring colleagues (and perhaps you) to conferences.
Sustain the tradition of funding travel awards - and remember, Luraine would want you to have fun!

Completed your registration but need to add the Tansey event?
*Here's how to add an event to your registration: First, access the registration page from the Conference portal as you've done before, using the same log-in code. Select the option *New Submission*." Now you're ready to add any fee-based event of your choice (you can also add sessions and other non-fee based events as well).
When you've completed your supplemental registration, hit the "Submit" button at the end of the form. This will be a completely separate transaction. Perhaps your employer is providing support for conference registration, but not for optional events. By making a supplemental transaction, you'll receive two separate receipts. Non-members are welcome to attend.

What’s Your Story?
You got two minutes to spare?
Surely you do, and we hope you'll plan to spend them participating in "What's Your Story? VRA Open Mike Night" to be held at the welcoming reception for the Annual Conference of the Visual Resources Association in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
We want to hear the short version (two minutes tops!) of your professional scenarios ranging from newly-hatched ideas, to challenges creatively solved, to projects currently underway, to real and imagined institutional partnerships. All forms of information sharing are encouraged: straight-up facts, storytelling, song and dance, and visual aids. You can even frame your story in the form of a question to the audience. This is a way for members to get to know each other better, to identify colleagues with similar interests and challenges, and to initiate larger conversations about current issues in the profession. We would love to hear from everyone, including VRA newcomers or those who have not spoken at conferences or on VRA-L before. Join in the fun and join in the information sharing at "What's Your Story?!"
More details on "What's Your Story?" coming soon!
