Our conference theme, Voices of the Elders, honours the First Nations, the first peoples of Canada, on whose traditional territory we will meet, and the elders of all nations, whose stories we preserve. The perspective we gain from working with elders assists us in understanding our world and contributes to success in our businesses and our lives. Who among us has not seen the world differently after hearing an elder's story? Who has not wished she or he could do an even better job of capturing an elder's wisdom, of helping an elder share his or her values, of ensuring that more elders' stories are saved for generations to come? |

Both of these photos required team work. On the left are those attending the 2 day board meeting. This photo was taken by Vicki, who flew in from Argentina with her husband, Eduardo Zemborain, APH member and executive board member.
On the right is a group photo of conference attendees taken by Tom Forster, APH member and board member. Maureen, (Tom's wife and partner), magically placed Tom in the photo that he took. Click on photos to enlarge. |

| 2009 Conference Program ( pdf) |
Program Chair: Marianne Waller, APH Events Manager: Paula Yost
Valley Forge, Pennsylvania Oct. 21 - 25, 2009 |

Revolutionary Perspectives, the theme for our 2009 APH conference, reflects the rich historical significance of our meeting site as well as the storytelling revolution that is sweeping our culture today. As APH members, we are on the front lines of this exciting revolution, and we each bring unique talents and perspectives to our work. What is your perspective? Do you look at personal history as a videographer, a writer, an oral historian? Think of all the different hats we wear as personal historians. There's a business hat and a helping hat. A service hat. A techno hat. An education hat. And, yes, sometimes even a therapy hat. It all depends on your perspective. Each client's personal history provides a unique perspective of the universal history that only he or she can tell. |
| As Christina Baldwin writes in Storycatcher, "I have heard a thousand variations of my girlhood; stories from the mother's point of view, the daughter's point of view, the father's and the brother's point of view." | |

Listen was the theme for the 2007 Annual Conference in Franklin, Tn (near Nashville). Listening is a key element of our work as personal historians. We listen carefully to the stories our clients tell us, and to the feelings and meaning behind their words, in order to preserve for future generations the full sense of their lives. What more appropriate place for personal historians to gather in 2007 than in Nashville, where listening to the human experience has developed into a rich tradition of celebrating personal stories through music?
