A message from our President:
2019 Annual Meeting in Huntsville: A Smashing Success
Paul Schlatter, 2019 NWA President
What a week that was! If you were able to attend the NWA 44th Annual Meeting in Huntsville, or if you followed from afar on social media, I am sure you agree it was a week to remember. Heck, you could have been under a rock and still heard about the annual meeting given the national media attention it received! The annual meeting truly captured the spirit of this year’s theme Pay It Forward, and for that I could not have been happier. Even if there hadn’t been a significant political controversy before the meeting began, this meeting’s sessions and keynotes would have been awesome anyway. Clearly the issue took the meeting to the next level. There were several highlights I would like to recap for you.
