INFOhio's 2003 Retreat provided INFOhio task forces, staff, providers, users and partners the opportunity to meet and begin planning for the upcoming school year. The Retreat focused on task force group work to plan programs for school year 2003-2004, initial implementation of the new INFOhio Strategic Plan (2003-2008), and Sirsi transition.

Retreat 2003 was held at Capital University in Columbus on June 16-18, with most activities in the Ruff Memorial Learning Center. The Retreat hotel was Staybridge Suites at the Columbus Airport. Certificates of Attendance (up to 10 contact hours) were provided to each participant.
