2004 Conference

Taking Center Stage - Shining the Spotlight on Us!

Approximately 1320 people were in attendance at this year's OASSC conference and it was absolutely excellent, exceptional and extraordinary! We held the premiere event at the new Galveston Island Convention Center at the San Luis Resort; it was beautiful, the staff were fabulous and the food was delicious!

140 of our staff were nominated as "Support Stars" and were featured on the walls of fame at the convention center. Please click the OASSC graphic to the left to see their photographs and stories.

	The keynote speaker for the morning was inspirational and had a powerful message. Jim Jacobus let everyone know that "inside every human being a champion heart beats...."
