DBSA 2010 National Conference Celebrating 25 Years of Peer Support April 29-May 2, 2010 Eaglewood Resort & Spa Itasca, IL (Chicago suburb) We got our start 25 years ago with people like YOU—peers who wanted to be there for each other as they traveled the road to recovery. So, in 2010, we’re going back to our roots—our grassroots—and celebrating, with a one-of-a-kind conference, something that’s absolutely crucial to recovery—peer support.  It’s our 25th anniversary, and to truly celebrate a quarter of a century of peer support, we need the people who make it all happen—YOU! This is a Special Conference! --Celebrates our 25th Anniversary --Starts earlier this year - in the spring --Hosted in our home state of Illinois --Hosted at a resort where you can renew and refresh KEY DATES Thursday, April 29 2010 Chapter Leadership Forum (CLF) Friday, April 30 - Sunday, May 2 2010 National Conference and Educational Institutes  Why attend?
