Also, some long-time child life specialists will present recollections of the early days of the profession and the Council. A very special Distinguished Service Award presentation related to the 20 th anniversary of CLC will also take place. Each Exhibit Hall booth will be numbered with a year and the name of the city where the CLC Annual Conference on Professional Issues was (or will be) held.

The book will be available at the Meet the Board/Candidates Reception, at the CLC Voting Booth during the Opening Reception and all Exhibit Hall hours, and at the Hospitality Table at other times.
