The list of convention hotels is on page 52 of the Feb/Mar issue of ONE magazine. Reservations will open Monday, April 5, at 9:00 AM CST / 10 AM EST. Keep in mind, a new housing policy was adopted this past year. A non-refundable, one night deposit will be charged on June 1, for each room that has been reserved.
So, if you have rooms reserved that you will not use, be sure to cancel them before June 1. It is also wise to make sure the reservations are not held with a debit card. On June 1, you will be charged for one night deposit on every room. The room can be transferred to someone else’s name, but the deposit is non-refundable. (So, whoever you transfer the room to will need to pay you for the deposit.)
Convention housing reservations can only be made by telephone or online. Links to hotel websites are listed at www.nafwb.org. No reservation for convention housing will be available before Monday, April 5, at 9:00 AM CST / 10 AM EST.

The Truth & Peace Student Leadership Conference received an impressive number of high quality applications this year. It was determined early on we would need to expand the number of students in the conference in response to this opportunity. So, this year there will be 104 students in Truth & Peace!
The staff poured over the applications for 13 hours during the selection process. Each application was thoroughly read and evaluated based on the information provided by the students and the references (but without the name, city, or church information on 101s).
