The Awards Luncheon will be Friday in Kalahari Ballroom Salon E. This ceremony is a special time to honor the outstanding members of our field that you don’t want to miss. Be sure to bring your colored meal ticket from the registration booth if you ordered a vegetarian or gluten-free meal, so lunch can be served efficiently.
Please make sure you attend the TAER Business Meeting on Saturday morning. A delicious full breakfast will be served prior to the meeting in Kalahari Salon E, and door prizes will be given out (must be present to win), followed by more informative sessions.
