Letter from the President
Colleagues,
I'd like to take a moment to tell you how enthusiastic I am about our plans for our upcoming convention in San Antonio, Texas. Thanks to our hard-working host, John Branch, and with a lot of help from Ben Sargent, planning is moving along swimmingly. Our hotel is exceptional and is located on the famous River Walk. Click on the link below to get a preview of our digs.
San Antonio is an incredible venue for a convention of our size, with ample opportunities for strolling on the river walk or hanging out in all the local establishments. It will be a great convention to bring along spouses and kids. There is so much to see within walking distance of the hotel, including the Alamo, of course.
The dates are June 25-29. Registration is not yet set, but is likely to be
in the $225 to $235 range. To get a tentative schedule of events, click here:
