RESA is listening to all of you. We are having an overwelming amount of requests to host an all inclusive convention so we need to get some specific feedback from you in order to make that happen.

If you would take this short survey to give us some feedback on exactly what you want then we will compile the results and then we will be able to make some decisions. As with traditional RESA philosophy all are welcome to give their input on the survey and to attend the convention. Thank you so much for the feedback!!

Great work Shell and this is very exciting. I'm volunteering to help with that task. I was on the IRIS committee for the San Antonio convention a year ago and it takes a lot of people to put a good conference together. Bravo to you!

thanks everyone for doing this. We need as much feedback as possible. this was everyone's idea i am just helping it along. As for the Canadian question. Because there are so many issues with Customs it would be very difficult to do this in Canada. It would be hard for vendors to ship things etc. Bummer because Canada is so pretty!!

Will do, but perhaps you can do it closer to the border states of Canada, so the Canadians can just come across the border. I do understand your point Shell, just had someone want something from StagersLIST in Canada, would have been $15.50 or so to ship a $7 item that cost $1.27 to ship in the US...WOW...So come on Canadians, we have some nice places to vacation...

This is exactly what I love about RESA. Stagers make suggestions and the next thing you know we're ask to help make some of the decisions. I've taken the survey and was glad to participate.

Just took the survey too. I'm really looking forward to a convention. Let me know if I can do anything to help you up in Canada for this Shell. I like Terrylynn's idea about maybe a border city.

We will do our best with location. Unfortunatley a boarder state to Canada makes it further for folks in the South and to have it in NY is furthest from CA and vice versa. So basically people will have to travel. If you look on the Map of North America it looks like Kansas is dead middle. But we also know from planning previous events that Vegas has the best deals on flights and hotels. I think we can let the survey go about a week and we will report back some results.

Ask and you shall receive, I was one who recently asked about this and lo and behold lookee here! You do KNOW that the MIDWEST is really a great CENTRAL location for EAST and WEST coasts now ...... shameless plug for closer to DFW... American Airlines hub is here too... and Chicago is also another great area... thanks for putting this out there!

How about Chicago? I've always wanted to go there...but if Vegas has the cheapest flights I like that too!

Easy survey. Thanks!

I see from your comments that you are taking into consideration the cost factor. I appreciate that. As you know, some cities are much more expensive to get to and stay in then others.
