SoCal Chapter
Goes to Louisville

Many representatives of ACES' Southern California chapter attended the society's sixth national conference, April 25-27, 2002, in Louisville, Ky. More than 350 presenters and participants gathered at the Galt House Hotel downtown for the conference and cruise on the riverboat Belle of Louisville.
