| 2008 Training Conference Information |
Planning for the 4th Annual Training Conference has been underway for months. The
Executive Board will, once again, take on the task of bringing you the absolute best
training for dispatchers anywhere in California, and might we go so far as to say the
entire country. We have some huge surprises planned for you this year, but we can not
do it without you being there! There are some basic things we already know, while
there are still others that are pending. As information is made available, we will update
the website. Check back often as we will update this site frequently.

| The Pines Resort at Bass Lake |
With the Pines Resort located in the geographic center of the state, it just seems to be
a logical place for us to hold the 4th Annual CTDA Training Conference. Just 14 miles
from the southern most entrance to Yosemite National Park, this beautiful setting is
conducive to a quiet, relaxing atmosphere which is perfect for learning. For more
information on the resort, click here.

| The Key Note Speakers |
On behalf of the Executive Board, I am so excited to be able to let you know who the
Key Note Speakers for the 4th Annual Training Conference will be. With literally
months of planning, we are lucky enough to have with us this year Cheryl James and
Modesto "Moe" Muniz, of the New York City Police Department. These two heroes,
in every sense of the word, were on duty during the horrific and unthinkable events of
September 11, 2001. Cheryl was working the Manhattan Police Channel, and Mo
was working the Special Operations channel. We are honored and truly lucky to have
them as our guests this year. You will absolutely not want to miss this NEVER
BEFORE SEEN, ONE TIME ONLY presentation. Click here for more information on
Cheryl and Moe.

| The Conference and POST Credit |
POST gave the California Tactical Dispatcher Association an early Christmas present by
approving the conference classes for CPT credit for the 2nd year in a row. That means
students will be able to earn sixteen (16) Continued Professional Training credits by
attending the 2008 Training Conference. Combined with the great classes, low pricing, AND
CPT credits - the conference is a huge value! POST control number is 5990-28000-07

Click here for the 2008 Conference pricing schedule. We have added new instructors,
new classes, the food choices will be better and we are adding time to the conference
schedule this year. The prices went up a little this year, but we are still significantly
lower than any other association training conference, and the main difference is we are
ALL INCLUSIVE!
