The NDAA summer conference is always a premier event for local prosecutors, bringing together hundreds of prosecutors from across America. This year NDAA conferences have addressed recent developments in such important topics as terrorism and homeland security. The Summer 2003 Conference in scenic Snowmass, Colorado, July 20-23, will provide an opportunity to cover additional topics that may have been overshadowed by these national priorities.

The Snowmass/Aspen area is one of the world’s most spectacular and fun-filled mountain environments. In addition to the traditional golf tournament, sports-minded conference participants can look forward to biking and hiking on wilderness trails, trout fishing, white water rafting, rock-climbing, horseback riding and paragliding. History buffs can explore log cabins, ghost towns and museums, while those with more acquisitive inclinations will enjoy the wide variety of unique shops and eateries.
Whatever your interests, whether professional or personal, the NDAA Summer Conference has much to offer. We look forward to seeing you there!
