On behalf of Bob Inderbitzen: To: ARRL Officers, Directors and Vice Directors attending Dayton Hamvention, May 19 - 21, 2023 This message includes a registration link for Board members who are interested in volunteering as part of the ARRL Team at 2023 Dayton Hamvention, held annually at the Greene County Fairgrounds and Expo Center in Xenia, Ohio. ARRL will again host our large exhibit area in Building 2. Hours are Fri & Sat 9 AM to 5 PM, and Sun 9 AM to 1 PM. 2023 Hamvention is sanctioned as the ARRL Great Lakes Division Convention. Board members will each receive an ARRL exhibitor's badge (in lieu of purchasing a Hamvention ticket) and ARRL team shirts (same dark blue polo shirts as used for 2022 events). REGISTRATION: If you're interested in volunteering to support ARRL's exhibits and activities at Hamvention, please complete and submit the following online registration form by Thursday, April 6. 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 meet the deadline for our hotel room block. 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). REGISTRATION FORM is due by Thursday, April 6: https://form.jotform.com/230584218859163 TRAVEL EXPENSES: ARRL Officers, Directors, and the Great Lakes Division Vice Director may seek travel expense reimbursement, expensed to their respective ARRL budgets. HOTEL: ARRL's staff team and Board members will be housed at the Marriott at the University of Dayton, 1414 South Patterson Blvd in Dayton, Ohio. This is the same Marriott as 2019 and 2022. The hotel is 17 miles from the exhibition fairgrounds 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 April 6. The room rate is $163, plus taxes (currently 16.5%). Each room includes up to 2 breakfasts per day based on occupancy, complimentary self-parking, and wireless internet.
