The 2010 Annual Meeting of the National Conference of Governor's Schools will be held October 7-9 in Charleston, West Virginia. The meeting will be hosted by the Governor's Schools of West Virginia. The theme of this year's Annual Meeting is simply Networking. As Governor's Schools work through their host states' fiscal challenges, they rely on program advocates to spread the word about the life-changing educational experience Governor's Schools offer to students. Networking takes advantage of programs' advocacy networks, and our Annual Meeting will focus on networking as advocacy.

The 2009 Annual Meeting of the National Conference of Governor's Schools will be held October 22-24 in Burlington, Vermont. The meeting will be jointly hosted by the New York State Summer School for the Arts and the Governor's Institutes of Vermont. The theme of this year's Annual Meeting is simply Challenges. Governor's Schools around the country face difficult challenges at the same time they challenge their students to excel. Join us as we review innovative ways to challenge our students and examine methods to identify and respond to the challenges that face our programs, our states and our nation.

The 2008 Annual Meeting of the National Conference of Governor's Schools will be held October 9-11 in Memphis, Tennessee. The meeting is hosted by the Tennessee Governor's School for International Studies at the University of Memphis. We are looking forward to an excellent meeting and invite all interested parties to attend and participate. Membership in NCoGS is not required to attend the conference.

We are requesting that all participants (or one representative from a single program) complete our Case Study survey in preparation for the Case Studies extended sessions. These sessions will address this basic question: when things go in unexpected directions, how have your reacted and what lessons have you learned that you can share with your NCoGS colleagues?
