Greetings, Colleagues!

This week, the Boston area is enjoying its second 80-degree day in a row. On campus, commencement preparations are well underway; students are engaged in the final push of the semester; and administrators welcome the summer months in expectation of another academic year.

For the planning committee and me, our efforts are increasingly occupied with the 80thACHE Annual Conference, Newport 2018 on October 8th-10th.   I am happy to announce that conference registration is now open! For those of you who haven’t been to Newport previously, there is plenty of fun in store, from the beauty of The Breakers to the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

Come early for Columbus Day Weekend, as there's plenty of holiday events planned, including the Amica Newport Marathon and the Jamestown Classic.  Most importantly, the Newport 2018 planning committee has a wonderful conference in store for you, from keynotes who are leaders in our field to workshops and sessions which feature the best of continuing education.  

A good piece of local advice - book your accommodations early, as Columbus Day Weekend in Newport is a popular destination!

I look forward to seeing you there.

With Warmest Regards, Bill Boozang, Ed.D. ACHE President, 2018 Boston College
