President’s Message

“Ride the Wave” is the theme for this year’s convention and we
have certainly gathered speed from this tenacious tube. This is our 88th
annual convention and as in year's past we continue to grow and get better every year.

The Annual Meeting Committee has "amped" this year’s convention with
an "ocean wave" of speakers and my hope is that you will take something
away from this remarkable event. Please take a few minutes to thank the staff and committee members for another great year

One of the many highlights of our convention is the Michael J. Manatt Memorial PAC Auction and this year’s theme is “Surf the Stimulus Highway”. We need another record setting auction so bring your surf board and be prepared to hang-ten "big kahuna"!

Our association would not be as great without you and your participation.
Once you review this brochure you will not want to miss this year’s
convention. If you're in the mood to discover something new, find your "pipeline" of learning and fun, take a walk on the beach and tear apart the epic waves. Surf's up Moon Doggy, join us this year and move along the face of a breaking ocean wave. Sign-up today!
