COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES
Two sites were reviewed for the 2010 annual conference and Palm Springs, Rancho Las Palmas, was selected.   A successful contract was negotiated and the 2010 annual conference will be at the lovely resort of Rancho Las Palmas, Palm Springs, California, on June 3-6, 2010, with a room rate of $128 (plus tax) per night.  For information about Rancho Las Palmas see the following website:

Bids were solicited for the 2011 conference from a variety of cities and over a variety of dates in March, May and June, 2011 to gauge the differences in rates and options.  Well over 50 proposals have been received and are being reviewed.

A report will be made to the board at the annual meeting on possible locations for the 2011 conference.
