year's Stakeholder Summit is six high-level meetings of leaders within the <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Alberta</st1:place></st1:State> emergency
management system designed to increase emergency management system
collaboration, provide a forum to address challenges, develop solutions and
create common understandings and identify other sources of assistance. We
determined the six topics based on your feedback throughout the year.
This is not a conference. You will speak to each other, and everyone in
the <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Alberta</st1:place></st1:State>
emergency management system will benefit from our discussions.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

Alberta Emergency Management Agency will fund all <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Summit</st1:place></st1:City> costs, leaving your organization to
cover your transportation and accommodation. The registration deadline is
October 15. I would encourage you to register sooner, rather than later,
as we quickly became over-subscribed last year. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
