Annual NARP Membership Meetings Underway—Attend Yours!

Regional meetings for NARP members are getting under way.  These meetings are a great way to meet other rail advocates, hear informative speakers, and also meet NARP staff, officers and directors.  A full schedule of upcoming NARP membership meetings, with confirmed speakers can be found in the events calendar over on the NARP homepage.

I always look forward to attending regional meetings.  I get to meet NARP members and tell them face-to-face what’s going on in Washington…both on Capitol Hill and within the organization they help support!  This year I’ll be traveling to Schenectady (Region 2), Omaha (Region 10), and Milwaukee (Region 7).  Ross has already been to Dallas (Region 9) and Philadelphia (Region 3) and will go to Tampa (Region 5), and Toledo (Region 6).  Our Communications Associate, Matthew Melzer, just got back from Portland yesterday evening (Region 8) and will be speaking in Baltimore (Region 4) in a couple of weeks.  Last, but certainly not least, NARP President George Chilson will speak in Boston (Region 1) and Sacramento (Region 12).

Attend your NARP Regional membership meeting; trust me, you’ll have a great time!
