As the time draws nearer we will post the 2008 convention agenda here.

Registration and Reservation Procedures

Please be sure to register and make your hotel reservations soon. Register with us to attend the convention: there are different registration forms for members and for exhibitors. Reserve your hotel accommodations with the Beach Cove Resort directly. We cannot make hotel reservations and the Beach Cove Resort cannot accept convention registrations. The two are separate and you need to do both. 

Members Registration

The convention registration fee for members is $90. That fee registers the member and spouse or one guest. It covers all training materials for the member, two continental breakfasts, ladies brunch on Friday and Saturday, and banquet tickets.

Please download, complete, and mail the Members Registration Form to us as soon as possible so that we can ensure a smooth-running convention and a good experience for all who attend. We've also provided an announcement and invitation that you can print out.
