New Haven Board Affirms 2015 Regional

The New Haven Board voted unanimously to apply for a Regional in 2015. The next step is approval by the National Council later this month. The Convention Coordinator is Lars Gjerge. Thanks to Dean, Jay Lindsay and Sub Dean, Andy Kotylo for all their hard work on this project. Stay tuned.

We're so lucky to have 3 conventions here in New England in 3 years - Hartford Regional 2013 - Jason Charneski, Convention Coordinator, Boston National in 2014, Ray Cornils, CC. and New Haven in 2015.

The 2016 National is in Houston, and we already have a Convention Committee in New Hampshire ready to do a Regional in 2017.

WOW - Thanks Region for stellar work.
