Newcomers' Reception
After making the difficult decision to move the Newcomers Reception inside due to the more than 100-degree heat, the Newcomers Reception kicked the Convention off in style, as more than 100 GAWDA New Members, Past Presidents, and members of GAWDA’s Member Services Committee gathered in the Wildflower Ballroom to mix and mingle and show off their hand in a fierce putting contest. Winners from last night’s putting contest will even bring home some hardware and be recognized from the stage during tomorrow’s Opening General Business Session, so stay tuned! Thank you to all who came and all who competed! It was the perfect kick-off to what is sure to be an IMPACTful week! |
President's Welcome Reception
Following the Newcomers Reception, GAWDA Members made their way over to the Grand Saguaro Ballroom, where members gathered for the official opening ceremony for the 2024 Annual Convention. With a theme of “Welcome to the 19th Hole,” Members were dressed for in their Sunday (at the Masters) Best, complete with dueling sets of caddies decked out. in the traditional Augusta white bibs, and ready to enjoy a night of networking, mini-golf, whiskey tasting, and cigar rolling courtesy of the evening’s amazing sponsors. It was a fun and festive night, and GAWDA at its very best. The heat couldn’t keep us down! Thank you to all who attended! |
