Leading up to the Women’s Walk, additional morning exercise will be available to attendees. The BSLA will be sponsoring an early morning Pilates and Zumba class at the Westin. These activities will help get your day started off on the right foot. Proud to Be BSLA Preparations for the Convention have brought the dozens (and soon to be hundreds) of Chapter members closer together and have resulted in many new friendships. Without the hard work and dedication of our members, our challenges would have been insurmountable. We especially wish to thank the chapter leadership, the Executive Committee, particularly Chapter President Kathleen Ogden and Chapter Trustee Tom Doolittle and BSLA Association Manager, Vicki Carr, for their commitment and dedication to these Annual Meeting preparations.
