AAEEBL's Third Executive Summit
(for institutional members and Corporate Affiliates)

July 29, Monday Afternoon - 1:00 - 5:00

One of the benefits to members and one of many opportunities extended to Corporate Affiliates is the Annual Executive Summit.

Presenters for the 2013 Executive Summit include:

Helen Chen, Stanford University
David Hubert, Salt Lake Community College
Terrel Rhodes, Association of American Colleges and Universities
David Shupe, eLumen Collaborative

Would you like to attend, but you're not an AAEEBL member or Corporate Affiliate (yet)? Support AAEEBL now!

This event, a $200 value, is a centerpiece event among the many AAEEBL services and opportunities extended to those who support AAEEBL's work throughout the eportfolio community. Thanks to eLumen's support, once again, this event will bring together eportfolio leaders and learner-centered technology providers in order to share and learn from each other. All attendees at the Executive Summit actively support AAEEBL's mission.

There's still time for your academic institution or corporate entity to become a partner in supporting AAEEBL's services. We invite you to consider membership or affiliation as a way to enable us to keep providing an ever-growing array of resources, both online and face-to-face, for those who share our mission: to deepen learning and to transform institutions with eportfolios and other learner-centered technologies.

Join AAEEBL now as an institutional member, and enjoy generous conference discounts and inclusion at the Executive Summit.
