Is the APMM's Future in Jeopardy?
President's Letter
SUBMITTED BY MICHAEL SCRIBNER

I’m sending a letter that no organization president wants to write, much less send. Despite the best efforts of this incredible Board of Directors, registrations for our rapidly-approaching Dayton conference are lagging, as I explain below. I understand that for some the cost to attend, in time and/or money, is too high. This message is for the rest of you.

DO YOU LIVE WITHIN THIS MAP?*

*SORRY, WINdSOR AND LONDON, YOU'RE ON IT TOO
If you do, this conference will be virtually effortless to get to! It’s 6 hours or less drive time from where you are. You can leave on Thursday afternoon and be back on Tuesday. If you don’t want to go on tours, you could leave home on Friday and be back on Monday. If you have to fly and hate changing flights, several cities have direct flights to Dayton and almost every US city and quite a few international ones fly into Cincinnati’s airport, which is about an hour’s drive from our hotel.
