March Meeting

We invite you to attend the 2009 March Meeting in Pittsburgh, PA. Pittsburgh is a city in revival and has a beautiful, new, “green” convention center. The city has many fine restaurants and shops within walking distance of most of the hotels. The headquarters hotel is the Westin Convention Center Hotel, immediately adjacent to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.
