2008-2009 Convention Committee

This Committee has the responsibility for overall planning of the Association's annual convention. It normally meets in October of the year preceding the convention to develop programs, workshops, social activities and other considerations implemented. However, matters relating to pricing for exhibit space, registration fees, or items necessitating significant financial commitment are regarded as subject to Board approval prior to implementation. Committee members serve a one-year term and are reimbursed only for their travel and lodging during the actual Convention Committee meeting in the fall of the year preceding the Convention being planned.
