Minutes From AABP’s Conference
Las Vegas, October 18, 2011
From your president and all those who made the first American Association of Bowenwork Practitioners (AABP) Conference possible.
I want to thank all of you who attended the AABP Conference in Las Vegas. We missed those of you who could not be there and hope you may pick up something useful from the conference press release and the meeting minutes that will be helpful.
We have gotten the ball rolling, so let us keep it going and make Bowenwork the household name for maintaining and/or improving the health of every individual.
