NFRC recently announced the location for its fall 2008 meeting and a revised schedule for the 2009 meetings. The Fall Membership Meeting, scheduled November 3-6, will be held at the Crowne Plaza Riverfront Hotel in Jacksonville, Fla.

Additionally, NFRC posted an updated schedule for its 2009 meetings. NFRC previously considered altering the dates to a Tuesday through Friday timeline; however, the 2009 meetings will remain in the Monday through Thursday pattern. NFRC is continually striving to keep the meetings economical for our attendees and this change would prove costly – resulting in increased sleeping room rates and registration fees.

The revised and final dates for 2009 are as follows:

• Spring - March 2-5
• Summer - July 27-30
• Fall - November 2-5

The locations for all three meetings are still being determined, and any updates will be reflected on the NFRC upcoming meetings Web page.

In other news, the NFRC Board of Directors has approved the exploration of moving from three membership meetings per year to two, starting in 2010. If you have any thoughts or comments regarding this change, please let us know by e-mailing meetings@nfrc.org or by calling 301-589-1776.
