NADA 2014

[Larry Bugg]

Well we are right at two weeks from the 2012 NADA Show so it must be time to start thinking about NADA 2014. The NADA BOD has not set the actual details on how we will determine who will Host the Show and where it will be held but the process will probably be similar to what we used for our upcoming Show. I just want to start planting some seeds out there.

At the NADA 2010 Show it was announced that groups that were interested in Hosting the 2012 Show should complete a application form designed to answer questions concerning how they will set up and manage the Show. Chad and I, as co-chairs of the SEDE made the decision to try to bring the Show to Atlanta and submitted the necessary information and the rest is history.

We now have quite a few regional Discus Groups formally meeting around the country. Those of you involved in these groups need to seriously consider having your organization Host and run the 2014 Show. Any one of these groups can make this a reality if they really want to. It was at the very first SEDE meeting that Chad and I proposed bringing the show to Atlanta. Thats right, we were brand new.

Whatever group wins the honor of Hosting the Show will by no means be totally on their own. It will be a joint effort between the local club and NADA. For this Show we have had a committee made up of SEDE members and NADA Officers. Chad and I will also both be available to help advise.

Please start this conversation up in your groups and give it some serious consideration. If you have questions then reach out to one of us and lets talk about them.

As soon as the New NADA President and Board are installed at the 2012 Show I feel pretty sure that this will be one of the first items to be worked on. Don't let this opportunity slip by you.

I wouldn't mind those SWDA folks hosting it, mainly because I would LOVE to have an excuse to get out to the southwest for some photography opportunities.

Hmm, Chicago, that could be interesting. Aqueon's just up the road here in Wisconsin. Maybe it's time to form the Greater Chicagoland Discus Association.

[LizStreithorst]

Chicago could do it. They could in Frostbite Falls, too. I'll put my money on Chicago but I'll be happy no matter where it is.

[yim11]

Think about it from a club, not location, perspective. It's a LOT of work for the host club so it requires a well organized and funded club. I highly recommend that interested clubs attend the show to see the details and execution.

[LizStreithorst]

Actually, I was thinking of places where there are extablished clubs that could do it. Of course they need to come and see for themselves.
