2009 LOWA ANNUAL CONFERENCE
MARK YOUR CALENDARS----OCTOBER 16-17, 2009
The plans are underway for our 2009 Annual Conference. By decision of the Board of Directors, the conference was reduced from three days to two and it will take place on Friday, October 16 and Saturday, October 17, 2009. Our host hotel is the Best Western Richmond Suites in Lake Charles. They have a great facility, free wi-fi and complimentary hot breakfast.
Due to the reduction of the conference to two days, we were hard pressed to fit our usual fishing trip in. Therefore, we are working on offering fishing on Thursday. We are attempting to line up guides, but there will be no other official conference activities on Thursday. More details will follow as we iron them out.
The Conference will begin on Friday morning with registration and then our seminars. We will have a morning and an afternoon seminar with a nice lunch break in between. The seminar topics are being finalized and I assure you, you won’t want to miss them. More details to follow. Friday night will be our product and trade show with a meal/welcome reception sponsored by the Southwest Louisiana CVB, our hosting CVB.
Saturday is our shooting day and we have arranged this at a local gun club. The facilities are perfect for our needs. We will hold our Board Meeting at the facility and then hold the general meeting once we arrive back at the hotel on Saturday afternoon.
The ladies tour is being planned by the SW La CVB and we’ll have more information coming soon about this.
Saturday night will finish up with our Awards Banquet which will take place at the Best Western. We will present our YJC and EIC winners at the banquet.
The Southwest Louisiana CVB staff are very excited about our upcoming visit and really rolled out the red carpet for us while we were there.
Mark your calendars now and stay tuned for regular updates and more detailed information..
