INVITATION TO ATTEND from JALENE FORBIS, PACIFIC REGION VP and JUDY PETRY, CENTRAL REGION VP
As ASLRRA's Regional Vice Presidents, we are delighted to encourage you to attend and participate in this year's joint regional meeting in Denver (Broomfield), Colorado. Your Meeting Planning Committee has focused all of its energies on creating a valuable educational experience, full of opportunities to network and learn something new, while remaining mindful of the many commitments vying for your time and attention.
This meeting will provide a great mix of business and social activities starting on the social side with an optional service project on Saturday, continuing with receptions on Sunday and Monday evenings. On the business end of the program, and new to the educational lineup this year, is a training seminar that will cover two timely topics: the new Conductor Certification requirement and the changes to Accident/Incident Reporting. You can arrange to just attend this training session or add it on to the existing regional meeting registration.
Additionally, ASLRRA's General Counsel Committee has stepped up and wants to repeat last year's successful Legal Symposium with a whole new slate of topics that will be of interest to railroad members dealing with key commercial and business regulatory and legal issues. See this section of the website for more details.
As always, this event embraces all of the education, industry news, and social events that you've come to expect from an ASLRRA meeting.
Our destination, Denver, is a major metropolis with the snow-peaked Rocky Mountains as a backdrop in the distance. This combo of urban sprawl and proximity to nature is what gives the city character and makes it such a great meeting destination. Our hotel, the Omni Interlocken Resort, is actually located in Broomfield, a Denver suburb. It is a short 20-minute drive to both Denver and Boulder, and less than 40 minutes to Denver Int'l Airport. Nestled against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, the resort offers a wealth of on-site pleasures and we're hoping you will come early and/or stay late to enjoy the resort's amenities with your family and friends. Golfers will love the challenging 27-hole championship golf course, ranked Third Best Course in the Rocky Mountain region by Golf Magazine, with its striking scenery and more than 400 feet of elevation changes. Kids will love the two outdoor pools and spouses may wish to escape into a sanctuary of relaxation in Mokara Spa. The whole family may want to take in a baseball game as the Colorado Rockies are in town, playing against the Dodgers (Fri-Sun) and the Astros (Mon-Wed). Sunday's game also includes a performance by Casting Crowns, a popular Christian band.
So don't miss out on this opportunity to meet with your peers, while sharing ideas and networking with others in the industry. Pack up the family for a mini vacation before or after the meeting and make plans to head to Denver where we're working on building a strong program complete with new features and activities to help you connect. We sincerely look forward to seeing you and welcoming you to this conference.
