We have had our Annual Meetings west of the Appalachains a number of times - most recently in Louisville about three years ago. It's expensive for any of us, no matter where it is held unless it is within a hundred miles or so of our homes.
One of the biggest problems we are faced with when we plan for an Annual Meeting is to hold it centrally enough that we can draw the largest number of PGCA Members, thereby satisfying the greatest number of members. It just so happens that the greatest number of our membership live in the East and that fact weighs heavily on our decision of where to hold it. It is never easy and the BOD spends countless hours in planning the Annual Meeting and other PGCA events.
