Hi Everyone~
I was just checking out the ACA site and looking at the info for the National conference since last year I got a late start…I am hoping to find some other people that are going or are interested in going to the conference. In case you don’t know and are a still a student, they are allowing full-time student members to attend the sessions and exhibits for FREE, so excited about that and the membership rate has gone down as well I think to $35(think it was $50 last year.) Last year I waited too long and couldn’t get a room at the resort the conference was held at and would like to not repeat that mistake, although I must give a thanks to Sam and his group for taking my roomie and I under their wing a bit! So I thought I’d start this so that maybe we can get more of us at this year’s event. Thanks, hope you all have a excellent week.
