ASSE Region III PDC Rescheduled for Spring 2011

Region III PDC has been rescheduled to Spring 2011. It will still be in Oklahoma City, but with a couple of additions:

  • Adding a full day to bring the conference length to 3 days
  • Incorporating the Region III Student Leadership Conference into the weekend prior to the regular PDC

We are hoping to get some of the student members to attend the conference since they will already be in the area. And an added benefit of the rescheduling, will be the marketing push by ASSE for the 100 Year Anniversary. If anyone has made conference reservations at the Marriot in Oklahoma City you should cancel them – no need to incur needless charges.

As soon as the new dates are finalized, they will be announced here on the ASSE Region III website.

Welcome!
