The Hospitality Crew Welcomes You to Richmond!

On behalf of the Hospitality Committee, we wanted to reach out to the region to share some updates about the Region 2 conference in Richmond, VA!

We are less than a week away from this amazing conference. The conference will begin March 18^th, and our Hospitality Committee will have lots of suggestions for exploring the Richmond area and making the most of your conference experience.  Some of the activities we have planned are: 

• Dinner 3/18 & 3/19 in historic Shockoe Bottom with your colleagues (hosted by a few of the VCU advising team, with sign-ups at the hospitality table)
• A limited number of day passes to the Richmond Children’s Museum (stop by the hospitality table to pick up your passes)
• Discounts to historic Williamsburg
• A Welcome Reception on 3/18 @ 5:30pm
• A Hospitality Reception on 3/19 from 8-10pm
• Loads of recommendations to local restaurants, museums, and shopping.  

Throughout the conference we will surprise our participants with give-away prizes and state baskets, recognize our outstanding advising colleagues at the Kudos (job well done!) table, and support local charity organizations with state Penny Wars.  As a reminder, if you have items from your local area and/or university you are bringing to donate to the state basket raffles, please drop them off at the hospitality table by Thursday morning at 9:00am.

We currently have nearly 450 advisors registered for this conference. This will be a great opportunity to network with colleagues from near and far! We look forward to seeing you in Richmond!
