A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR EXHIBITORS AND ATTENDEES

The 2022 Annual State Conference is in the books.  Our first conference in over two years was held at the Marriott-OSU in Columbus and it was Wonderful!  THANK YOU! for making this event a success.  

It was great to finally meet the members of the Association and discuss several key issues and concerns.  I want to personally thank everyone that filled out the post-conference survey's.  The information and feed back is vital to the Board of Trustee's and your Management Team.  It helps us identify areas we need to improve.  The results were very positive and encouraging.  

Scholarship Program:  We raised a total of $1,160.00 for the scholarship program.  $390.00 was raised from the silent auction, $60.00 from the swag items, and $710.00 raised from the raffle.   Soon we will have the scholarship application form available on the website for applicants and we will be awarding our First Scholarship on April 15th .  The big winner of the Scholarship Raffle was Rich Hinote of Hudson CSD.  Congratulations Rich!
