It is our pleasure to announce that the 2009 National Convention will be held in historic colonial Williamsburg. The USCAA has held several successful meetings and conventions at the beautiful Williamsburg Marriott. The Marriott provides us with all the amenities needed to hold our national convention, while also enabling us to cater to your relaxation and vacation needs. The Marriott will offer significant discounts to our members, during the peak season for summer vacationers. Rooms will be available for $97.00 a night.
Dates for this year's convention will be June 6th-9th. The national office believes that input from our members is vital to the continued growth and success of this organization. We ask that you begin making your plans now to be with us. We have many exciting events in store, as well as allowing plenty of time for you and/or your family to spend relaxing by the pool, browsing the shops of colonial Williamsburg, or finding some thrills at Busch Gardens and Water Country USA.
There will be more information available and sent to you in the near future. Until then, continue to check out our website, www.theuscaa.com where our convention link will soon be updated. Don't miss the convention countdown as a reminder to reserve your spot!
