Summer is just starting, but October is around the corner! It isn’t too early to start planning for the PA Chapter conference in Erie from October 14-16. There is still time to sponsor Pennsylvania’s premier planning event. The conference’s exciting keynote and plenary speakers have been announced. Also, pricing is available for the conference, so don’t delay in budgeting and reserving your hotel room.
We also know this is a long trip for our members in the Southeast Section. In fact, it is as far from Philadelphia as you can get in Pennsylvania. But that also makes it a unique destination for our members that can help us bring new perspectives to our part of the Commonwealth.
We want to assist members in attending the conference. In 2013, we organized and subsidized a vanpool that built long term bonds between members, described on our website. In 2017, we used an online sharing app to encourage carpooling. We are looking to continue that effort for this conference, so please sign up to join or lead a carpool.
How can we best help our members get to Erie in 2018? If you have ideas or would like to help plan the trip, please email events@apapase.org.
