Following an amazing day of committee meetings, meet and greets, scavenger hunts, and everybody getting acquainted with everything that San Antonio has to offer, GAWDA got down to what GAWDA does best, with a rockin party. First, more than 75 newcomers joined GAWDA committee chairs and past presidents for the Newcomers Reception. Each year, the Newcomers Reception is a great opportunity for the first-time attendees of the show to get to know seasoned GAWDA veterans before the President’s Welcome Reception. It’s an opportunity to form relationships in a more intimate setting before going off to the party with the entire attendance.
