(Name-mce) ListServ Your votes tallied for most popular cities for NAME to hold conferences

[bill@billhowe.org]

You can stop voting now. I got a great response. I asked this week which
cities you would like for NAME to hold conferences. I asked for a list of 5
cities spread regionally throughout the country. Below are your top choices
with at least a two-digit total vote. I should have added in my request to
remember that we hold the conference late October and early November so
weather was a consideration. The top choice of Chicago is colder that time
of year. Unfortunately it is one of the most expensive conference cities -
rates for us were no less than $200 a night for a hotel room. We have been
to 8 of the top 14 choices. There were some interesting other suggestions
including cities in Canada, Jamaica and the UK. Thanks to all who sent in
choices. We will keep these in mind for conference planning.
