2010 Annual Landowner Conference

This page contains a list of the 2010 meetings/presentations or portions of them that AFOA has video available to watch online. We hope to provide many more upcoming meetings/presentations online in the future. We know it takes a lot of time, effort, planning, and money to host these meetings, but it also takes a lot of time, travel, and money to attend these meetings. In a way, AFOA hopes to bring the meetings to you, the audience.

AFOA would like to say “Thank You” to all the meeting hosts and speakers who gave AFOA their permission to film their meeting or presentation.
