Social Highlights

This year's Annual Meeting features a formidable lineup of ceremonies, receptions, and breakfast activities - most of which are included in the basic registration package. Here's this year's lineup:

  • Thursday Night Welcome Reception - November 29: This is your chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones. After a full day of meetings, this is a good time to unwind.
  • Friday Expo Break - November 30: Take the opportunity to meet with our Expo participants, have a bite to eat, and see the latest innovations in our sport. While you're there, don't forget to get your Expo Raffle Card validated at all of the booths and turn it in at the registration counter in order to qualify for prizes from our various vendors.
  • Saturday Awards Breakfast Buffet - December 1: This tradition is highlighted by the opportunity to recognize and support those volunteers who are the backbone of our organization. This is a tremendous chance for you to recognize and appreciate your peers.
  • Jesse Owens Awards / Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony - December 1: Tickets for the Jesse Owens Awards / Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and dinner are available at a cost of $60 per person or a table of 10 for $600. Reserve your seats now!
  • 50/50 Raffle - In the past, the 50/50 raffle has helped to support many of our grass roots programs and initiatives, and provided the winner a little extra cash. This year, the proceeds from the raffle will be divided between support for Alicia Shay, Ryan Shay's widow, and Jenny Crain, long distance runner, who was hit by a car while running this summer and remains in a coma. So take a chance...it could be your name that's drawn!! The raffle is open only to registered delegates. Each raffle entry is $25, and proceeds are evenly distributed between the winning entrant and Alicia and Jenny. The winner will be announced at the Closing General Session. Note: You need not be present to win.
  • Silent Auction - Bid for your chance to win one of several great items!
