COMO Larsen answers a question

Charlotte, August 26-28. The National Conference experience is enhanced by the attendance and displays offered by the Auxiliary's commercial supporters and various departments. Due to the weather conditions of Hurricane Irene and the transportation challenges she presented, many exhibitors could not arrive and some had to leave earlier than they desired.

Those that stayed, because they were not affected by the storm, were able to present the material face to face and answer questions about their products and services. Materials and handouts were left at the vacated spots.

 

 

 

 

The commercial vendors and Auxiliary partners present on the Midway:

  • Pentagon Federal Credit Union
  • Boy Scouts of America/Sea Scouts
  • ACR Electronics
  • Nationwide Insurance
  • American Canoe Association
  • National Weather Service
  • BoatUS
  • District 5 RBS Outreach Innovation Center
  • Absolute Outdoor
  • C-MAP by Jeppesen

It should also be noted that the General Assembly coffee breaks were funded by Nationwide Insurance.
