Reviews are not limited to exhibits in the United States, so if you have been lucky enough to see an exhibit abroad, we would love to hear about it too!

Applications for the 2009 SHA class are due May 15. Have you thought about applying? Is someone on your staff a good SHA candidate? This is the year to do it!
SHA is celebrating its 50th year and the partners are offering a one time only $1000 housing stipend to help out during this economy. I can't urge you enough. SHA was one of the greatest times of my career and I continually reference ideas and concepts learned during my time in seminar. And, my fellow seminarians are still some of my closest professional contacts and I look to them regularly for ideas and inspiration.
