Region 4 Convention
Oklahoma City, OK
November 16-17, 2007

The Regional Convention was the best since Texas State has been part of NBS.  The organizers at Oklahoma Christian University and Oklahoma State University did a great job of arranging tours, bringing in informative speakers, and providing top-notch facilities.

Our chapter didn't do as well in the competition as we have in past years, but kudos to Danielle Porter for taking second place in the audio news segment category.

Make plans to attend the National Convention in Anaheim next March!
