August 19, 2008 Dear NLLEA Conference Participants, Welcome to the National Liquor Law Enforcement Association’s 22nd Annual Conference in Nashville, Tennessee! This year’s conference theme is Enhancing Public Safety through Liquor Enforcement. We encourage you to take this opportunity to learn about innovative and successful enforcement strategies that will help improve public safety by reducing alcohol-related problems in our communities. This year’s conference is again being held in conjunction with the Enforcing Underage Drinking Law’s National Leadership Conference, thus allowing us to increase the visibility of liquor law enforcement and highlight the excellent work that our Association members engage in related to enforcement efforts in the United States and Canada. The conference will provide attendees with the opportunity to participate in sessions related to the innovative use of technology to fulfill our mission, promising practices to increase compliance with sales to intoxicated laws, and provide ideas and programs to work with retailers, college campuses, and other community institutions to improve public safety. In addition, the National Leadership Conference sessions also include a focus on enforcement and are open to NLLEA registrants, thereby affording our members greater opportunity to network. Our conference provides an important opportunity for recognition, so please join us at the awards luncheon on Friday, August 22nd in the Delta Ballroom. We also encourage your participation in the NLLEA business meeting, which will be held on Thursday, August 21st in Governor’s C. This is an important venue for members to assist the board in moving this organization forward. As always, we hope to see everyone at the closing banquet and induction of new officers on Friday evening at the Country Music Hall of Fame. If there is anything we can do to make your conference experience more enjoyable, please contact a host staff person, any NLLEA Board Member, or any one of our co-hosts from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission, and we will do our best to assist you. Thank you for attending the 2008 NLLEA National Conference. We hope that you will enjoy your time in Nashville, Tennessee. Sincerely,

Stacy Drakeford President
