This year the fall meeting season will again embrace 9/11,
one of the most memorable dates in American history.
 

Most Americans will never forget where they were on that fateful day.
Take time to remember the tragedy, how we all pulled together as a nation,
and began to remember why we are still the greatest nation.
 

Many corporations and associations, as well as educational organizations, will be creating special programs for their audiences to honor and remember all Americans, especially those who lost their lives that fateful day, the first responders and other heroes who helped save lives and those who continue to grieve their losses.
 

If your group is planning a recognition program for members to come together in observance of this historic date, CBA Speakers Bureau is honored to represent several presenters for your consideration. Please contact us for further information.
