Just a thought.
They are all annuals.
Some are regional, but only one is national.
So shouldn't the name be changed to, what quite a few people refer to it as, "The National"?

Marshall, the Convention information, is available at

  Are you guys referring to the national PTG convention?  I'm hoping to join if this guy will call me back.  I don't wan t to send him the application fee until I am certain he's stil lthe president of our chapter and his address is correct.  I'd like to go to that convention in June.  Does anyone know how much it costs to attend?  The ocol thing is, I'd take my family and have the evenings to spend with them, no lonely business trips for this family man.:)

    I just mentioned the one.
    Since then, I have been to Providence, Arlington and Nashville.
    I can't afford 2 a year, and the travel, so yes, I do go to the regionals more frequently.

      National, is bigger, 800 +. I was at one in Toronto, late 80's, and I believe around 1100.
      MARC is a regional, as is NEECSO, they are smaller, 150 +.
      I really enjoyed the MARC, I attended last year, it could give the 'National' a run for it's money. I also enjoyed the NEECSO's I usually attend, as I tend to see more familiar faces.
      This year, there is no MARC or NEECSO, because of the 'National', being in that area.
      Go, you will never regret it."
      John,
      One National in 26 years???!!! About time you attended another on IMO!!<G> Sheesh! It behooves us all to attend, at least, one every 5-10 years. There is soooooo much stuff that will make your job better/easier/more profitalble, I can't begin to tell ya! All conventions, be they regional or national are a great way to meet new friends and smoosch!<G> Yes, it is expensive! No, you will not regret it!!!
      Just my inflated USD opinion.
