The 2011 CAP Annual Conference & National Board ―EARLY REGISTRATION‖ is officially off and running. This year’s Confer-
ence will be held in Louisville, Kentucky, August 18 - 20, 2011. Don’t forget to register online before midnight June 5th to receive
your special discounted ―Early Conference Registration‖ rate of only $99. As an extra incentive for registering during this early regis-
tration period, your name will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a free laptop computer at the conference.
Online registration after midnight June 5th through midnight July 31st will increase to $130. The registration link is http://
capmembers.com/events/cap_annual_conference/index.cfm.

This year’s Conference is being held at the Louisville Marriott Downtown. The CAP room rate of $119 (Single/Double room) is availa-
ble until midnight July 17th. Be sure to make your hotel reservations early as rooms are limited.

Louisville is well known as home of the Kentucky Derby, excellent bourbon, and the Louisville Slugger! With this year’s Conference
kicking off the celebration of CAP’s 70th year of service, there is no doubt that the Conference & National Board will be a homerun.
To find out more about the area and attractions of Louisville click here.

With over 50 pre-conference courses and learning labs to choose from, no matter what your special interests are, we’re sure you will
find sessions to meet each of your individual needs. This year we’re having two new pre-conference courses. The first one is for cadets
and seniors who want to participate in the exciting national CyberPatriot computer network defense competition that one of our CAP
units recently won. The second new pre-conference course will teach our members how to operate the Geospatial Information Interop-
erability Exploitation – Portable (GIIEP) systems that all of our state level National Guard units have.

This year we are also having a special reception Thursday night for all first time Annual Conference attendees. This will give you the
opportunity to meet and talk with me and other CAP senior leaders. My staff and I look forward to meeting each of you and extending
our appreciation for your membership, service and dedication to our organization and the nation. The 2011 CAP Annual Conference &
National Board will also conclude my tenure as your National Commander. Please make plans to attend so I can personally thank you
for your service.

I look forward to seeing you in Louisville.

Sincerely,

AMY S. COURTER
Major General, CAP
National Commander
