ago, didn't people complain because the regional awards were held at the
same time as the seminars, and so people had to choose between one or the
other? I coulda sworn I sent out notes and such to people who had contacted
me saying they'd missed my talk because of the regional awards in the other
hall...tho senility must be setting in, because I can't remember what year
that was. Had to have been in the last two.

Susan,
It was last year. People had to pick between seminars and the regional
awards ceremony. This year the seminars will be over a little earlier in
the afternoon than before. We will then start the regional awards ceremony
and finish it before the dance. We hope to have refreshments at the ceremony
itself. We also hope people from all regions attend the whole thing. It
will be nice to have as many people as possible supporting members from
regions like the Southeast which don't draw as many people to the convention
as other regions because of the distance. (Now we can all beat to death the
travel cost and where conventions are located thing for several days.)
Anyway, we hope the various events won't interfere with each other.
