The ASA National Convention & Leadership Conference was held July 16 - 20 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Wednesday we registered and attended the kick-off speaker event. The first night the Dallas group went to dinner. Attending from Dallas Alumnae past and present were Kathy Messina, Leigh Ann Greathouse, Barb Lambrano-Williamson, Kim Benson, Debbie Craig, Monica Henson, Angela Bauldree, Ginny Lloyd, Bonita Maurer and Tanya Trumbla Brewer.
Thursday was a full day of workshops ranging from digital photography, finances and etiquette. During the evening free time, Kathy and I ventured into Old Town for a mexican dinner. We got caught in a sudden downpour with a group of collegiates as we waited for a bus. But it made it all the more fun.
Friday started the business meetings portion of the Convention and the day finished with The Red Tie Foundation dinner. We were all requested to wear an article of red clothing to the dinner. Our group picture was taken in the evening. The coordinating red made for a great picture. Kathy purchased an 8x10 photo for the scrapbook.
Saturday was another day of busniess meetings. We also witnessed the passing of the gavel to our new president Cindy Kelley. In the evening was our formal awards dinner. An exciting night for collegiate and alumnae chapters.
Sunday we went on balloon rides. I floated up in a real balloon after climbing into the little basket, which held just 4 riders. Too bad it was tethered and we only rose up about 50'.
The next Convention will be held in 2010 in Indianapolis, Indiana. September 2008 will be the dedicaton of our new headquarters in Indianapolis. November 8, 2008 will be District 7 District Day in Nashville, Tennessee.
It was a wonderful convention. Sisterhood is great! We are Alpha Sigma Alpha!
