2011 State Organization Conventions Provide More Variety for Members

Since visiting NV, MD, GB and TN state organization conventions (TX in progress now), I am stunned by the number of similarities and often surprised at the differences. Some of our traditions build the similarities, but area and cultural differences allow for some interesting practices. Not everyone ends with a banquet on Saturday night. Workshops may vary from  one choice to 40. Speakers, panels and planned discussions vary with the locale. All were interesting and enjoyable. Thank you for the chance to share and listen. If you took pictures at any of these events, please send them to me!
