_Event Recap_
_2011 DAGA Winter Policy Conference_
_January 28-29, 2011_
_Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne, FL_

DAGA had a wonderful return trip to beautiful Key Biscayne, Florida! We had
a tremendous response for this event, with 15 Attorneys General from across
the nation who joined us along with 200 members and special guests. The
panels on Fighting Financial Fraud, High Tech Fraud Prevention, Community
Focus, and Economic Development & the Role of the Attorney General
generated some great discussions, while the presentations by notable
Democratic commentator and political strategist Paul Begala and the Ballot
Initiative Strategy Center’s Joel Foster provided fascinating insights into
the current state of our democracy.

We offer a special thanks to our sponsors of the conference, NCO Group,
Oracle, Stateside Associates, Hudson Group, American Resort Development
Association (ARDA), and The National Beer Wholesalers Association for their
generous support.

For sponsorship information for future DAGA events, please contact Fran Katz
