Only 36 days remain to get everyone registered for VISION Conference 2019. You can register online at arstuco.org and click on the Region 6 VISION Conference tab. If flying into Little Rock for the conference, remember that Lake Hamilton will provide free transportation for those needing it from Thursday - Sunday of the conference. They will also rent buses for a very reasonable rate outside those dates if coming in early or staying late. I know that New Mexico will be coming in on Tuesday and will be taking advantage of that.
As far as hotels, New Mexico is staying at Baymont by Wyndham on the lake. Kansas and Missouri are staying at Home Stay 2 suites on the lake. The Comfort Suites is booked. The only rooms remaining at Comfort Inn are a few king rooms. Texas has booked the other rooms there. All other hotels have rooms available.
