To: ARRL Officers, Directors and Vice Directors attending Hamvention, May 18-20, 2018
Hamvention is May 18-20 in Xenia, Ohio. The event has been sanctioned as the 2018 ARRL Great Lakes Division Convention. This message includes a
summary of our planning for ARRL’s participation at Hamvention. There is a registration link included for Board members who are interested in volunteering as part of the ARRL’s Hamvention
team. Please complete your registration before March 31, so we can meet the deadline for our hotel room block.
ARRL Board officials may volunteer as part of the ARRL Team. Volunteers will each receive an ARRL exhibitor’s badge (in lieu of purchasing a Hamvention ticket), and
ARRL team shirts.
TRAVEL EXPENSES: ARRL Officers, Directors, and the Great Lakes Division Vice Director may seek travel expense reimbursement,
expensed to their respective ARRL budgets.
We’re returning to the same Marriott as 2017.
ARRL’s staff team and Board members will be housed at the Marriott on S. Patterson Blvd in Dayton,
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/dayoh-marriott-at-the-university-of-dayton/. The hotel is 17 miles from the exhibition venue in Xenia. Our online registration form will capture your hotel registration information (please don’t book directly with the
hotel). ARRL’s room block must be committed by the end of March. Each room includes 2 hot breakfasts and Guest Room Wireless Internet.
Hamvention parking will be free, onsite, and no parking passes are necessary. Those requiring ADA/Handicap parking should visit the Hamvention website for instructions. Shuttles and golf carts will be going through
the lots to facilitate easy access.
If you’re interested in volunteering,
please complete and submit the following online registration form by March 31:
http://www.arrl.org/hamvention-2018-arrl-team-registration. The online registration form will help us organize room reservations, badges, apparel and staffing for the event. Even if your
plans are not entirely committed, please complete the form with your tentative information so we can develop counts for hotel bookings.
The registration form should not be shared with anyone else. If you have a spouse, companion, or other family member accompanying you—and they’re interested in volunteering
with you—please have them complete a registration form, too (be sure they mention your participation, so we can associate their registration with your own).
Thank you for your cooperation. Please contact me if you have any questions.
