[Ncabs] GPS Technology Presenter Needed

Tue Jul 10 23:53:13 UTC 2012

Hi Justin:

It seems to me that we have the 3 hours covered except for nailing down the GPS portion, 
so a national student rep at State Convention is not needed.  I would think this idea is 
more appropriate for the Student Seminar.

Thanks. :)

Shelby was a lot of fun at our student seminar.  I think Shelby's due date is pretty close 
to our state convention.  I want to make sure there is good value added before we use good 
NABS money on a plane ticket and good NCABS money on our rep.

Everyone: What would we do with a rep if we brought one?  We could bring Sean Whalen or 
Briley Pollard from Virginia; that would be a short, easy, and inexpensive flight in terms 
of how flights go.

I am aware of this. :) However, some states like to bring in someone new. Sometimes, this 
isn't economical, but the Camp Dogwood rate is not to bad for NCABS in my opinion, and the 
Charlotte airport/train station/bus station are more affordable and accessible than any in 
the state. So, if NCABS is interested in someone else, it could happen. It doesn't matter 
one way or another to me. Just throwing it out there.
