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.

*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.
