CalARVC cancels annual convention

(July 25, 2012) -- "The financial and resource commitment to produce a convention is well over $100,000," said Sipe. "Documented attendance at CalARVC and other industry conventions has been in a steady decline over the past six years. The board and staff decided that it could not risk the money to finance such a venture. You entrust us to spend your dues dollars wisely. Producing a convention is no longer a wise use of your membership dues."
