Now is the time to start making plans to attend NADCA’s 21st Annual Meeting & Exposition, March 27-30, 2010 in Tucson, Arizona. This is the best place, time and atmosphere for training and certifying your technicians. The Annual Meeting is also the only place you can see the new and innovative tools and materials for the HVAC Inspection, Maintenance and Restoration Industry.
The Annual Meeting Committee has brought back the most entertaining feature of last years meeting – the Poolside Reception – which will be followed by a Casino Night that is sure to be a blast. Both of these events will give NADCA members the opportunity to meet and greet colleagues – and most importantly, to relax a bit.

The 2010 Annual Meeting line-up is filled with exceptional training and education sessions. For instance, we’ll have in-depth training on things like NADCA’s new ACR Standard; personnel management; and also some hands-on training for those who want to sharpen their skills.
Another plus for this years meeting will be “Breakfast with the President.” For two mornings during the Annual Meeting, NADCA President Robert “Buck” Sheppard and other members of the Board will have breakfast with attendees, and no topic is off limits. Bring your concerns and your challenges, and let me know what is on your mind. That alone should justify the time and expense you will invest in attending.
NADCA’s Annual Meeting & Exposition is the most important event in the HVAC Inspection, Maintenance and Restoration Industry. We hope you will join us in Tucson, Arizona, March 27-30, 2010 for this cutting-edge event.
