Dream Big, Act Bigger!

Join New England Region and hundreds of other BBYOers
at the 2010 International Convention
International Convention is always a great opportunity for BBYO members to get a taste of International BBYO, to meet BBYOers from across North America and around the globe, and to take part in activities and events that will help shape BBYO Programming for the year ahead. As BBYO continues to expand and evolve, IC offers an opportunity for our members to chart our organization's future. There is a 750 person cap on IC- making it the largest convention in BBYO history! IC will set standards for programming- from Service and Advocacy Programs, to Shabbat programming, Celebrating our 85th and 65th anniversaries, and many other exciting programs and activities! IC is an exciting event for many members of BBYO, and one we should encourage them to explore.

This year, the cost of IC will be $765. Scholarships will be available for anyone who plans on attending IC. Please contact myself or the NER AZA President Harry Pesce for the scholarship form.

In addition, BBYO is working on securing a discounted airline rate from American Airlines and possibly Southwest Airlines. Please stay tuned for this information. It will be available ASAP.
