ABE Board of Directors Meeting
February 3-4, 2025
The Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel, Phoenix, AZ
Dear ABE Board Members and Guests,
Eric and I look forward to welcoming you to Phoenix in a few weeks.
Our meetings will take place at the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel--a quick drive from the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. While many of us will be staying at the Renaissance, some of us will extend stays at the ABA Mid-Year Meeting hotel of their choice. The ABA host hotels are within walking distance of the Renaissance.
To try to accommodate travel schedules, every effort will be made to end this very important meeting by 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday. While this will be a shorter meeting, we've packed a lot into our brief time together!
Our Welcome Reception on Monday evening will be held from 6:00-8:00 p.m. on the Renaissance Hotel's Skyline Terrace. The event will be held outdoors and although we will have heaters, if needed, please dress to be comfortable. We will have plenty to eat and drink, so you can relax on the terrace and not have to worry about making dinner plans.
While the Board is meeting on Tuesday, spouses and guests will have the option to visit the Musical Instrument Museum followed by lunch. Eric and I have been there, and we highly recommend a visit. It’s amazing!
If your travel plans allow you to stay after the meeting on Tuesday night, we will meet for dinner at Mancuso's Italian restaurant. Trish Refo says Mancuso’s is one of her favorites, so we know it will be wonderful.
Attire for the board meeting and evening receptions and dinner(s) will be smart casual (polo shirt, slacks or skirt/dress).
We look forward to making the most of our short time together in the Valley of the Sun!
Warm regards,
Lora and Eric
