* * * REGISTER NOW * * * FAMU NAA 2015 Annual Convention
HOUSTON – January 27, 2015 – The Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) National Alumni Association (NAA) announces open registration for the 2015 National Alumni Convention, which will be held May 14-17 in Houston, Texas at the Doubletree Hotel. Participants may take advantage of early registration pricing online at www.FAMUAlumniConvention.com until March 15.
“We’re calling on all Rattlers to grab their cowboy hats and boots and meet us in Houston where we are expecting a Texas-sized turn out of alumni, family and friends,” said FAMU NAA President Tommy Mitchell, Sr. “The alumni convention is the perfect opportunity to re-engage with the university, re-connect with classmates and remember the impact that our presence and charitable giving generates for the continued success of our beloved alma mater.”
The Annual FAMU National Alumni Convention, sponsored in part by GEICO, is the premiere event for alumni, corporate partners and university supporters to gather and learn about the latest activities and innovations being produced by students and faculty at FAMU. The convention empowers attendees to network and collaborate during a series of professional development workshops. Each session is designed to inform and educate alumni ambassadors to become more adept to the state of affairs at FAMU.
“New on the schedule this year, we are excited to host the Distinguished Alumni Awards during the Black Tie Gala,” said Lieutenant Colonel Gregory L. Clark, FAMU NAA 1st Vice President. “Moving the awards from Tallahassee to the convention allows our honorees to be celebrated in a larger setting while establishing another signature event for alumni and friends to look forward to annually.”
Early registration for the convention is $300 (a $50 savings) until March 15, 2015. Corporate sponsorship packages are also available. Due to overwhelming demand, the host hotel (Doubletree Hotel, 6 Greenway Plaza) is sold out. Overflow accommodations are available next door at the Crowne Plaza Houston River Oaks Hotel, 2712 Southwest Freeway, (713) 523-8448. Please reference “FAMU Alumni Convention” to receive the group rate of $119/night. For more information and schedule details, visit www.FAMUAlumniConvention.com.
