Feeling like you need to escape from the stress and hustle of life, but don't have time for a full vacation? Consider the Southern Summit your "February Mini-Escape." A chance to engage in real conversation about community and life issues. Your opportunity to meaningfully express your opinions, learn something new, and discover other people's perspectives on issues that matter. Join us for the Sixth Annual Southern Summit, being held on Saturday, February 24, 2007, on the campus of Queens University of Charlotte.

Your $95.00 registration fee includes breakfast, lunch, snacks and the evening cocktail reception. Need-based scholarships and educational discounts are available.

We're also introducing the new "Bring a Friend" promotion. Know someone perfect for the Southern Summit event? If they've never been before, invite them to attend. If they say "yes" and you pay for both at the same time, you'll SAVE $30 ($15/per registrant)!
