Comments and/or suggestions to make the state convention more appealing for members to attend: Some topics seemed redundant and repetitive; have more accessibility to local attractions; there seemed to be some disorganization in the business sessions; frequent breaks help people focus better; state convention should be held in a central location; convention should be ending around 4pm; room rates were little on expensive side;
