Thanks to all that attended the 2024 Sport & Social Conference! This was our highest-attended conference to date, and we can't wait to do it all again next year in...LAS VEGAS!
After an amazing conference in Punta Cana, the Executive Committee now begins its focus on the upcoming election and EC retreat, where we get together in person and set the next year of priorities. This year we plan to visit the location of the 2025 Conference, Las Vegas! See below for more information regarding how you can run for an EC position.
