The CBA would like to take the opportunity to thank its sponsors and exhibitors. All have made a generous and invaluable contribution to our 2009 Regional Conference here in Tonga. The success of the conference, and the benefits to members, would not be possible without the financial subsidy received from these sponsors. The CBA is most grateful for all of their support and ongoing commitment not just to this event, but to quality broadcasting in the Pacific.
