Message From Our President
Dear NASBP Leadership,
The NASBP Mid-Year Board Meeting is one of the most important events on the association calendar each year. It’s one of our two in-person opportunities for the leadership of the industry to convene, share ideas and make impactful decisions. This year it’s in one of my favorite places to visit in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville, NC.
There isn’t a better place to showcase this year’s theme of Building Better as the area shows off its recovery from Hurricane Helene. I look forward to productive committee meetings and strengthening relationships with our leadership as we continue to build a better association.
Please plan on joining us in November, book your hotel room today. Note, the date pattern for this year's event has shifted one day earlier, with arrival on Wednesday and the Board Meeting on Friday morning. Full committee meeting schedule information will be available soon, check back for updated details.
See you in Asheville!
Best Regards,
Robert Coon
NASBP President
