3.3 Site Selection Joy DeSensi

NAPEHE’s 2003 Conference will be in the Western United States. Joy has been in contact with hotel people about possible sites. The following points were noted:

• People enjoyed San Diego and the Gas Lamp District however, AAHPERD 2002 will be close to that area and it may be too close to return to that site
  
• Better prices can be negotiated by returning to the same hotel
  
• It can be boring to return to the same site every 3 years
  
• Several cities were suggested for 2003 Conference Site
  

1. The NAPEHE Board will meet in Orlando on Thursday, March 23, Salon 14 Clarion Hotel. It was suggested that the meeting time be changed to 2-5 p.m. Board members were encouraged to submit reports to the web to shorten the meeting
