Washington, D.C. Annual Meeting

By all accounts, the 90th Annual Meeting held at the JW Marriott hotel in Washington, D.C., October 1-4, was a resounding success. Excitement filled the air as each session provided members with valuable information and fresh perspectives. Attendees learned from industry leaders and shared ideas with fellow members. The Board of Directors and Headquarters staff wish to thank everyone who participated in this year’s meeting and helped to make it such a rewarding experience.
