font-family:Garamond'>I don’t want you to miss out on the opportunity to
get in to the ACCESS Conference at a lower rate. If you have not yet had a
chance to convince your powers-that-be of the importance of your attendance at
the conference, you can do so until midnight, Monday, Feb. 1. All the information
you need is on our site: <a href="http://www.accessed.org/">www.accessed.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><font size=3
face=Garamond><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Garamond'>The content
of the presentations and those presenting are of very high quality. We
have the opportunity to hear from folks working in the field of distance
education and we need to be informed. To quote Radcliffe (1764) “A
well-informed mind is the best security against the contagion of folly and
of vice.”</span></font><o:p></o:p></li>

<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><font size=3
face=Garamond><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Garamond'>The
opportunities for networking and fellowship are some of the best reasons
for being at the conference. This is where you can find out who is doing
what at their institutions and organizations. Some of the best “meat”
(tofu for vegetarians) comes from these informal times.</span></font><o:p></o:p></li>

<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><font size=3
face=Garamond><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Garamond'>The
opportunity to meet and talk to Katherine Amos, our keynote speaker, is
worth the trip itself. She has a lot to say about theological distance
education, accreditation, and spiritual formation. If your institution is
going through accreditation, will be going through, or is contemplating
some version of that mind-blowing process, you will want to talk to Dr.
Amos.</span></font><o:p></o:p></li>
