Spring 2007 Convention Recap by Amanda Snyder, Communications Coordinator

The VRMCA Spring Convention was held May 20-22 at The Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia. Roughly 180 guests attended the event. Speakers covered such topics as increasing sales, succession planning, the 2007 economic outlook and VDOT End Result specifications. Attendees also enjoyed a free afternoon with the opportunity to participate in the golf tournament, shooting sporting clays, or just lounging about and enjoying the plush Homestead accommodations. The VRMCA Reception was well-attended, and the crowd enjoyed cocktails and crab cakes while listening as the winners of the golf tournament were revealed.

The VRMCA thanks all speakers and attendees who made the convention such a success. We look forward to seeing everyone again at the Fall Convention, Sept. 9-11, 2007.
