The Annual Meeting 2012

This year's annual meeting will be held at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Winston-Salem on Friday, Feb. 24.

Registration will be from 8:30-9:30 AM with a buffet breakfast provided and the first session will start at 9:30 AM. This is 30 minutes later than in previous years and is designed to help those people attending the meeting get to Winston-Salem the morning of the conference and obviate the need to stay the previous night. The conference will end at 3:45 PM. For details please see the Newsletter link above or click here.
