Decisions made at the 1st Planning Meeting
Hello, It was decided that the planning committee for NAHSL 2010 will stay in Sue's closet and hibernate for two years with her cat, Suki. (Everyone except Mary Ann who is allergic.)
Seriously, the consensus was agreed upon that the conference will be held in Newport, RI. The Marriott Hotel is seriously being considered as the conference site, pending negotiations. Reggi & I will meet with Donna Wickstrand from Conference Hotels Unlimited and Ryan Larkin, Sales Manager of Marriott Newport to discuss the contract. We will also discuss options of where to have the welcome reception. If anyone else is interested in joining this site visit and meeting, please email Sue.
Various slogans were offered to go along with the "Green" theme, such as "Saving the/your Green $," "Keeping it Green for a Healthy Future", "Keep it Healthy, Keep it Green" and "Preserving our Past, Conserving our Future." We felt the last slogan," Preserving our Past, Conserving our Future," is broad enough to stretch and use for continuing education classes, speakers and keynote speeches.
As it stands now, the development of committees is as follows:
Program - Barbara Davis
Hospitality/ Local Arrangements - Pat Padula, Cherine Whitney, and Cheryl Bannick
Registration - Mary Beth Edwards
Exhibits/Sponsorship - Jeannine Gluck
Evaluation - Nancy Ross & Bill Anger
Financial Officer - Mary Ann Slocomb
Web Site - Penny Glassman
Continuing Education - Pat Gorman & Arline Dyer
Publicity/ Signage - ?
Hotel Liaison - ?
Scholarship - ?
A/V Coordinator - ?
As you know, the success of each committee and of the conference is dependent upon those who are willing to work together and make it a success. I urge all of you on this list serve to start contemplating how you will contribute and help make this the best conference ever. If you have ideas for speakers (or anything else), please let Barbara or myself know.
The next planning meeting will be in January at a location, date and time to be determined. We welcome you to join us. Bring your ideas and your enthusiasm.
