Come join us in Tampa to highlight our theme of Mission First, People Always: Collaborations and Innovations in Military Education for CCME's 2011 Annual Symposium that will be held at the Tampa Marriott Waterside and the Tampa Bay Convention Center. The CCME's symposium is an important forum for current information and intellectual exchange for military educators. There will be specialized tracks for session proposals, exploration for new theoretical perspectives, and highlights of new partnerships and tools to provide insights in advances in military education. A goal for the 2011 CCME Annual Symposium is to create a program that engages topics that are current and relevant to military education's policy and society at large. This objective is best served by careful scholarship, combined with open and frank discussion. The CCME Annual Symposium is to serve as a professional development opportunity for military educators, partners and supporters of military education. This will be accomplished by creating a forum for developing collaborative partnerships and interacting with other conference attendees from both academic and practitioner realms. We look forward to seeing you in Tampa, Florida.
