Discussion re: 2012 State Conference. There were two points that were under
consideration among the Ex. Committee members:
a.
SITE: There is still split opinion of whether the economics (potential lower cost)
of staying at the
Crowne Plaza outweigh the location and “creature comforts”
that the Hilton
–
Eason provides. The Committee opted to wait until the 2011
Conference expenses are made available and asked Mike Ferguson to firm
–
up a
“most accurate” estimate of expenses with th
e Hilton
–
Easton utilizing 2011
registrations and general conference format.
b.
FORMAT: The consensus of the Committee (based upon attendees’ feedback)
was that the adjusted format used in 2011 was a success and accomplished the
intended goals of the changes.

rmined that two other candidates had

the selection process, it was decided to provide each of the three candidates a
