63rd KACD Annual Convention
"Cooperative Conservation"
November 18 - 20, 2007
Hilton Wichita Airport
"Cooperative Conservation"
November 18 - 20, 2007
Hilton Wichita Airport
Arrangements are now complete for the 63rd KACD Annual Convention in Wichita, which will open on Sunday, November 18, 2007. This year’s meeting features many informative breakout sessions. The program is available for download here.
Committee Time and Room Assignment
The schedule and locations for the KACD committee meetings on Monday, November 19th, are available here.
KACD Executive Director Pat Lehman will meet with committee chairs on Sunday, November 18th, at 3:30 p.m. in Consulate I.
Schedule Changes for 2007
In response to feedback by some members, we have moved the KACD Annual Awards Banquet to Monday evening rather than Tuesday evening as it has been held in the past. That way, the convention will wrap up early in the day on Tuesday, allowing participants to head home a bit earlier in the busy Thanksgiving holiday week. Other convention activities have been shifted to accommodate this change, and an optional breakfast buffet has been added to Tuesday morning.
Registration
The registration process has been streamlined in order to reduce the time it takes to register upon arrival at the convention as well as to make the administrative arrangements run more efficiently. Convention attendees are asked to download a registration form (available in pdf) and fill one out for EACH attendee.
Completed registration forms should be mailed along with payment (checks or money orders, either a single one for multiple attendees or individual checks or money orders) to KACD by Friday, November 9, 2007. Checks should be made payable to KACD and mailed to the association at P.O. Box 3510, Lawrence, Kansas 66046.
If there are special circumstances that you would like to address with the KACD executive director, please contact Pat Lehman at ptlehman@sunflower.com or call him at (785) 832-9400 (office) or (785) 766-3743 (cell).
When you arrive at the convention, simply stop by the registration table in the lobby area to pick up your registration envelope, which will include your program booklet, name tag, meal tickets, and registration receipt. Tickets for meals will be available at the registration table if you prefer to wait and purchase them there rather than along with your registration. Affiliate dues for 2008 may be paid through the registration form or at the convention registration table.
Vendor Registration
Vendors wanting booth space (six-foot table) at the 2007 KACD Convention should print out and complete the vendor registration form and return it with payment (checks or money orders) by Friday, November 9, 2007. Booth space will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Each booth requires only one registration fee of $250, even with multiple attendees (who will be provided with a name badge).
In addition, the registration fee includes a free business-card-size ad in the convention program. Sample ads and size requirements can be seen here. Ad information is due to the KACD office either via mail or email no later than Thursday, November 1, 2007.
Hotel Accommodations
In early May, all conservation districts were sent a memo detailing a revised procedure for making room reservations at the Hilton Wichita Airport. A copy of that memo is available here. The hotel is located at 2098 Airport Road, Wichita, KS 67277. The hotel phone number is (316) 945-5272.
Overflow properties are the Best Western Red Coach at 6815 West Kellogg Drive, phone number (316) 942-5600; and the Canterbury Inn, 5805 West Kellogg Drive, phone number (316) 942-7911.
