Are you
ready for something different?
Dear Friends,
How many times have you had that Déjà vu feeling
when attending a convention? Some cities and hotels look so
similar; it is often difficult to remember where you are.
That is not the case here in Albuquerque.
The 2009 CRA Convention and Tradeshow will be unique in so many
ways. Albuquerque is located in the high desert of New Mexico
between the Sandia Mountains and the Rio Grande River. With
an elevation over 5300 feet, the dry warm days are cooled by
the evening mountain air. The Airport is serviced by all of
the major airlines and the fares are very affordable. We are
located just 30 minutes south of Santa Fe, which is easily accessible
by car, shuttle, and light rail.
Sandia Resort and Casino is the location for this year's convention
and tradeshow. The Convenient, FREE airport shuttle is a short
ride to the resort at the north end of Albuquerque. The onsite
Spa, Full Casino Gaming, and Championship Golf Course make this
site the perfect place to bring your spouse to enjoy. The meeting
and convention facilities are excellent and lunch will be served
in the center of the tradeshow floor, promoting better interaction
between the vendors and the attendees.
We will have an excellent array of topics for our educational
sessions covering a number of areas that are new and fresh to
the reprographics industry. We have mixed up this year's schedule
to break the routine and I encourage you to visit the new CRA
website at www.cra1.org
to learn more. Additionally, we are opening registration of
this year's show to non members and reprographers from other
regions. Register early to reserve your place at the CRA in
Albuquerque, September 16th, 17th, & 18th.
I look forward to seeing you here!
Kevin O'Hea, CRA President
