Notes from Local Arrangements

Our 2005 Conference at the National Center for Employee Development Center promises a new experience.

Meals are freshly prepared in a variety of combinations (including full meals with several entrée choices, fast food grill, health food and salad bars) at the facility’s centrally located Food Court. Join friends and make new ones in the dining area or on the terrace. All meals are “All You Wish To Eat,” so don’t forget the dessert! A FREE continental breakfast in the exhibit hall is available on Thursday and Friday mornings.

We redesigned the traditional seated luncheons into theater style programs. Since meals are included in your registration packet, you may attend the noon programs, at no extra cost, then lunch in the Food Court with friends. If you are attending a Table Talk, dine first, then enjoy lively discussion at the talks.

The hotel rooms are intended for one person with a queen size bed plus standard amenities. You may choose to share a room, but please be aware that the room will be small. When we receive your Conference registration we will make your hotel room reservation for you. If you are sharing a room, please write that person’s name on that line in the registration form.
