RE: 2009 Midyear Meeting
Dear GCAA Member,
It is stating the obvious to begin this letter with an overview that conditions are not good in our industry. Few can remember a downturn that has occurred with such severity. It has dramatically impacted not only companies but too many individuals who work in our industry.
Faced with these conditions and the forecast that there will not be a quick turnaround, the GCAA Board of Directors has decided to cancel the 2009 Midyear Meeting that was scheduled for Amelia Island. A resort-based meeting at this time is not consistent with economic conditions.
We are looking at an alternative for a smaller and locally-sited meeting to occur at approximately the same time we had scheduled for the Midyear Meeting. Details for this alternate meeting will be made available early next year.
With this perspective, the Management Workshop is the only 2009 meeting that will have total industry participation. If you have not made arrangement to be at the workshop, please reconsider and we look forward to seeing you there.
We will continue to look for ways to provide value to your membership. The decision regarding the Midyear Meeting was not an easy one. If you have any perspective on that decision or other thoughts regarding our activities, I earnestly solicit your viewpoints. I hope that you will make contact.
With best wishes for a happy holiday season,
John Cardosa, Jr.
Executive Director
