Some unions interested in IAQ send a large contingent, also. There is a meeting for NEA members, related to TfS and IAQ, the day before the TfS general conference begins. Union members of NEA should contact NEA-HIN Jennie Young, for details or go to the www.nea.org website for more details (Health Information Network - HIN - will post the date, and registration is required, with limited spaces again.
