2021 Annual Meeting in Williamsburg VA
Finally, we have nailed down a location to have this year’s convention and it is a very special place in this country’s history. We are going to Williamsburg, VA. This rescheduled and abbreviated convention will run from June 3-5, 2021.Our host hotel with be the Doubletree by Hilton Williamsburg. To make a reservation, either call 1-800-222-8733 or go online. Be sure to mention our special code “AAC.” The hotel is a short distance from a lot of interesting sites including Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens.
As of this writing, we are feverishly putting the final touches on the event schedule, but it will include a Thursday night reception at our First Couple’s car collection which will include food and drink. Friday will include the First Lady’s Breakfast and a few possible seminars. Friday night we had planned for a celebrity guest who is now unable to make it, but we are working on a replacement so stay tuned. Saturday will include judging schools, the annual membership meeting, and our black-tie optional gala to honor the 2020 National Award winners.
While our program will be condensed this year and void of some of the traditional dinners and activities, it will be a unique venue for those attending. It will be a great opportunity to visit Williamsburg, see the sights and maybe take in a traditional colonial meal! The hotel is honoring the room rate for those wishing to expand their stay and make a mini vacation out of it. We hope you will join us!
