SAWE LA Chapter International Conference Planning Virtual Meeting<\/u><\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nLawrence called the virtual (Zoom) meeting to order at 10:00 AM<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- First order of business was to bring the potential locations (LAX, Long Beach, OC\/Costa Mesa, Santa Clarita and Ventura) from 5 candidates to 3 (LAX, OC\/Costa Mesa and Santa Clarita).. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
We suggested taking Ventura off the list. This was supported by L. Cruz, J. Nakai, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D. Rowley. L. Cruz had spoken to M. Notarangelo earlier and he recommended removing Ventura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D. Rowley had spoken to Kevin Tharp on Thursday. He said we could get a lot of help from the Mojave Chapter if the conference were closer to Palmdale. Santa Clarita remains on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Long Beach was removed due to the last conference already having taken place in Long Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- D. Rowley to inquire of SAWE International (Bill Boze and Robert Hundl) if we heed to hold a Regional in Fall of 2025 as a dry run. No Regional Conference was held for Coco Beach or Savannah during the pandemic. Typically at a Regional, the final meeting would be a planning meeting that involved SAWE International. There, officers could offer up suggestions and review the facilities. Other activities at a Regional would include 1-2 training classes, a light technical session, and industry forum. Los Angeles Chapter key members have a lot of conference experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- DJ Feldman called in. He suggested a downtown hotel (The Biltmore). He thinks that he can get a reduced price since the conference is a midweek event. LAX is amongst the least expensive choices in the area. The OC near the airport may be less than LAX near the airport. DJ would like to take 2-3 weeks to look at these locations. Afterward, we will take a team to look at these places. The goal is to visit 4-5 locations in 1 day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Lawrence opened the floor to suggestions and John Nakai suggested the Sutton Place Hotel which is now rebranded as the Renaissance Newport Beach Hotel. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- We will reconvene a Zoom meeting after D. Rowley gets communication back from DJ Feldman with information to share.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Next SAWE in-person meeting (all members) is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 30, 2023.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The extended Zoom meeting (with Lawrence, Dan & Mike remaining online) adjourned at 11:20 AM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
