Join the Herd in Texas!

You're receiving this email as an attendee of AHTD's Spring Meeting where we will be better, stronger, and bolder together in San Antonio, Texas. We have a hankering for the city's BBQ and TexMex, and are excited to see the sights, soak up the history, and feel the warmth - both the temperature and southern hospitality - of the Alamo City. Yee Haw!

This email has newsy bits and travel suggestions for our trip. Don't see what you need to decrease the stress and increase the fun? Please reach out to Nancy or me with any questions or concerns.

Getting to the JW Marriott

Hot outside and chilly inside? Well, of course it is if you are going to a conference! Keep an eye on the weather as we'll be outside for a few evening events.

What Should I Pack?

We get asked this a lot. Business casual will serve you well for any AHTD meeting, so you'll see logoed golf shirts, dress shirts, and khakis/dress pants. Then again, you might see some attendees opting for golf shorts while others will wear blazers! Note: We will be outside for a couple of events.

Final night party: Read more below. Reach out to us if you have any questions.

And there will be no need for your dog...God willin' and the creek don't rise!

Final Night Party - Friday, April 19

Did someone say BBQ? No need to put on your best bib and tucker. Grab your hat, shine that belt buckle, and pull on your jeans and plaid because we're saying goodbye to San Antonio, cowboy-style! Before lighting a shuck for home, join us for a spell on the lawn at the JW and enjoy all that Texas has to offer - BBQ, music, and maybe even a special guest or two. Pray tell, is there a better way to spend an evening than with a good many of your AHTD friends and colleagues? Get ready for a rip-snorting party that'll make you want to say, “Yee haw!”

AHTD IS #BetterStrongerBolder in Texas!
