In early September, BookPALS Coordinators from across the United States met up for our bi-annual Coordinators' Conference at the Screen Actors Guild Foundation Headquarters in Los Angeles, California.
It was a very inspirational meeting full of ideas about how to make BookPALS an even more successful program in the 2008/2009 school year!
The true force behind the BookPALS Program is (left to right) Marcia Smith, National Executive Director of the Screen Actors Guild Foundation; Jan Powell, BookPALS National Program Director; and Nurit Siegel, Los Angeles Coordinator.
