Agenda & Schedule of Events
Hotel Information
This meeting will take place in the DFW metroplex at a new venue – the Sheraton Hotel in Arlington. Learn more about the hotel on their website here. The room block is now closed and rooms may be reserved through the hotel at the prevailing rate. If you have a room and need to cancel, please let Julia know so we may look into transferring it to someone who needs it.
PFIA Training (add-on)
We will also offer Greg Ellis’ Public Funds Investment Act Training in conjunction with this business meeting. You can add your PFIA course to your business meeting registration, or select registration option AA for anyone not attending the business meeting. The 4-hour course is $125 and the 6-hour course is $175. Both courses include a working box lunch (options here). Virtual participation is also available, just select “virtual attendance” when you sign up instead of selecting a lunch. Webinar instructions will be emailed to virtual registrants the week before.
