I received an email invitation I thought others might be interested in hearing about.

Speaking about Composition Online Conference
This all-day, online conference allows you to gain inspirational insights and learn practical ideas for your teaching – all from the comfort of your home or office. There is no registration fee; all you need is a computer and an internet connection.
Our speakers include Mike Rose, Anne Wysocki, Dennis Lynch, Dan Anderson, Charles Paine, Richard Johnson-Sheehan, and many more renowned teachers and rhetoricians. To view the Speaking about Composition program, read about our speakers, and register for sessions, please visit the website. Register for just one session or sign up for several sessions. There are no fees!
I am not sure I will be able to participate, but I wanted to let everyone know about this opportunity.
For quite some time now, we have had your site on our blogroll, encouraging our readers to visit your site. Our target audience is high school seniors and college students. We engage them in conversations with the goal of appreciating that there are more than 2 or 3 ways to view any issue; there are at least 27.
Hopefully, the discussions in which we engage will better prepare them to make decisions as they navigate their college years. We believe that when people recognize that there are many different ways to view an issue, they also can devise more options to address difficulties.
It’s sort of like having more arrows in one’s quiver. Come check us out.
