| 5th Annual Training Conference |
| The California Tactical Dispatcher Association Executive Board is hard at work putting the 2009 Training Conference together. Please check this page often for updates to the 2009 Training Conference. |
| The Pines at Bass Lake |
For the fifth year in a row, we couldn't find a better place to hold our Training
Conference. The staff has come to know us and they treat us like family. The beautiful
setting lends itself to our training style and need to just get away from life for a couple
days and spend time networking with others who do our same job. If you have been to
the Pines before, you know how beautiful it is - if you haven't, you are in for a treat.
The resort is the destination - no Disneyland down the street, no big shopping malls,
you are surrounded by natural beauty and friends from all over the country.
Get to the Pines by flying into Fresno Airport, Sacramento Airport, or Oakland Airport.

| All-inclusive Pricing Information |
One advantage to attending the 5th Annual California Tactical Dispatcher Association
Training Conference is that the pricing is ALL INCLUSIVE. This means that your
agency (or you) pay only one price, for all of your lodging, all meals, all classes AND
the Key Note Speaker. Prices are up modestly from last year - but the reason for that
is for higher room rates and better menu choices during the conference. We think you
will be pleased with the changes we have in store for you this year.
