2017 Spring Convention and Barge-In

 

1. Let Anne Fazzini (afazzini@americanwaterways.com) know if you do not know your login/password, and she will reset it for you.
2. Please log in to the AWO members side of the website, and click the member dashboard link on the left-hand side of your screen.
3. Select “Register for an Event” under your member dashboard. 
4. It will ask you if you are registering you or someone else.  If you are registering someone else, I recommend searching by last name only or by checking the box for your company, then hit “search for attendee.”
5. Follow the prompts until you see confirmation of registration.  I believe it will say “order complete” and you will get an email confirmation.
6. Let us know if any of your information is out of date and needs to be updated.

Network with Key Players and Industry Professionals
Join more than 150 members, agency personnel, and Congressional staff for the Spring Convention Reception on Tuesday evening.

Meet with Members of Congress
The AWO Barge-In on Wednesday, April 26, is a premiere opportunity to demonstrate to Congress the importance of the tugboat, towboat and barge industry to the United States. It is essential that our voice be heard. The Barge-In is our opportunity to remind lawmakers about the national economic and security benefits the maritime industry provides to the United States. Your presence on Capitol Hill will be critical to forging relationships with Members of Congress and building support for national priorities. A preparatory session on Tuesday will give you all the tools you need to have productive meetings on Capitol Hill.

Lead AWO into the Future
Sit in on the Annual Membership Meeting and the Board Meeting Thursday morning. As a member-led association, it is vital that every member take a responsible role in the governance of the Association. The Board Meeting is open to all members of AWO.
