2010 Annual Conference and Training
September 27-October 1, 2010
Marriott Union Station

Meet Me In St Louis
The classic movie, Meet Me In St Louis, may be
the theme for the 2010 Annual Conference and
Training. St Louis is centrally located and
easy to reach for most of our membership. The
city offers great entertainment, sports, shopping
and dining.
St. Louis Union Station, once the largest and
busiest passenger rail terminal in the world, is
now one of America's great marketplaces.
Union Station first opened in 1894, but ceased
operation as an active train terminal in 1978.
Union Station reopened in August of 1985 as
the largest adaptive re-use project in the United
States.
Today, this 114 year old National Historic
Landmark of unmatched beauty and elegance
has been dramatically restored and redeveloped
as a dynamic mixed-use project that includes
great shopping, delicious dining and fabulous
entertainment.
St. Louis Union Station houses a 539 room
Marriott Hotel, luxury offices, a lake and a
plaza for festivals, concerts and other special
events. The century-old St. Louis Union Station
boasts a unique and colorful history as well as a
bright future. St. Louis Union Station is truly a
shopper's delight with over 80 shops and
restaurants to choose from. An important part of
the Station's special appeal is the variety of
unique retail shops, offering everything from
fine fashions to one-of-a-kind gifts.

Annual Meeting Committee. The Annual
Meeting will begin with a reception on Sunday
