CASH is Going to Palm Springs!
The 42nd Annual Conference on School Facilities is focused on this time of transition in the school facili-
ties community, and what it means for your ability to provide every student and teacher with safe, clean and
quality learning spaces. CASH is committed to ensuring that all schools have access to a stable, secure and
ongoing capital and maintenance funding through continuing advocacy and educating members with the
most up-to-date information.

For the second consecutive year, the Conference will be held in Southern California. Enclosed you will find a
variety of education sessions for facilities practitioners in all aspects of school facilities construction, and for
all experience levels. New this year: education session time blocks consisting solely of the popular Mini-Work-
shops (topic-focused education sessions, which debuted last year) on all three days of the Conference.

The Board of Directors and Annual Conference Planning Committee invite you to join your school facilities

About Palm Springs, California
Palm Springs is different. Clear blue skies. Star-filled nights.
Sweet desert air. A mountainside close enough to touch –
certainly to hike. So much to see, do, explore…or not…your
choice. Sunshine – it makes a difference. And you’ll feel it with
the people – friendly, happy, joyful, carefree. Palm Springs.
Relaxing. Rejuvenating. A place to make memories. A place
in which to hold a memorable meeting. Palm Springs, Like no
place else™.
