Are you attending the annual CAMP meeting on April 26-27, 2010? Why not extend your stay by one day and attend the 2010 National Issues Conference. This is a great opportunity to provide the members with the most up-to-date information on national issues affecting the campground industry today!
What's An Issues Conference? The 2010 National Issues Conference combines both federal government issues with national and state association business and state government issues. National and state ARVC leaders and members are invited to participate in this 1 an a half day event confronting issues that are important to the RV park and campground owners and industry.
Dates & Times: April 27 - 28, 2010. Plan to arrive at Cherry Hill Park in College Park, MD for the opening luncheon on Tuesday, April 27 and remain through the closing of the conference on Wednesday, April 28. The dates were selected to provide the best opportunity to attract key government speakers and to allow for Hill visits.
