FIRSTLY THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING US! Dear Colleagues, As registration opens for URMIA s 48th Annual Conference, I want to send this letter as my personal invitation to join us this September in Orlando. The Annual Conference Committee, along with the home office staff, have been working diligently to plan for what I believe will be our best conference ever. This year s conference will take place at the beautiful Disney Yacht and Beach Club Resorts. In addition to this ideal resort location, the slate of speakers and programming topics scheduled are exceptional! As an added value, we have representatives from Disney Institute as our keynote speakers each day. Whether you are new to URMIA or a long-time member, there is something for everyone at this conference. I would be honored if you took the time to reach out to me sometime during the conference to introduce yourself. I look forward to this time to get to know you better and to further acquaint you with the great resources URMIA has to offer. Looking forward to seeing you in Orlando this September! Kind Regards, Kathy E. Hargis President
