MANA 2008 Fall Meeting

The MANA 2008 Fall Meeting was a great success this year! Over 125 attendants, multiple vendors and excellent speakers made the event one of MANA's best. The weekend long event took place September 19-21, 2008 in Rehoboth Beach, DE, which is known for its excellent restaurants and treasure trove of shopping, including 135 outlet stores, all sales tax free! The Sands Convention Center once again hosted us and attendance was at an all time high.

UMMC graciously hosted a reception for all attendees Friday evening. There were presentations from experts on clinical topics, insurance, business contracts, and new research which earned participants up to 14 CEs. At the MANA Business Meeting, election results were announced (feel free to click on the MANA officer's link to meet them!), members were informed of upcoming MANA activities, and of course, fun was had by all.

Mark your calendar for the Spring Meeting to be held Saturday, March 7, 2009 at the Maritime Institute in Linthicum Heights, MD. See you next year!
