2010 AFHE State Leadership Conference
For Arizona Homeschool Group Leaders
Present and future homeschool support group leaders are invited to join us for the 2010 State Leadership Conference Hosted by AFHE.
This very special, one-day conference is a unique opportunity for homeschool group leaders from across the state to come together to network with one another, to share ideas, to get encouraged and refreshed, and to let the AFHE board express our sincere appreciation for your tireless dedication to serving Arizona homeschoolers and promoting the movement of parent-led, family-funded, relationship-based home education.
Join us for a day of encouragement, information, edification, and networking with others who serve in leadership in homeschool groups in our state.

- Guest Speaker – Vicki Bentley (see below for bio and workshop descriptions)
- Delicious Italian Lunch Buffet
- Information about upcoming AFHE events
- Parental Rights update
- Support Group Spotlights

- A gift from AFHE for leaders that attend the conference
DATE: Saturday, January 30, 2010
TIME: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
PLACE: Windemere Resort & Conference Center
5750 E. Main Street, Mesa, 85205
(On Main Street just east of Higley)
COST: $15 per individual or $25 per married couple
As always, we keep the price to attend very low to provide an opportunity for group leaders who are traveling from other parts of the state to join us. AFHE underwrites a large portion of the expenses for this event because we feel that thriving, healthy support groups are vital to the strength of the homeschool community at large. It is our honor and privilege to host this event each year specifically for those in leadership in the local homeschool support group.
