Join us in historic Charleston where President Keith Faulkner of Charleston Southern University welcomes us to their picturesque campus and city as they host this year’s annual meeting.

We will be in this charming city that blends Southern hospitality with rich history and stunning coastal beauty. One can explore the cobblestone streets of the Historic District, where you can admire the grand antebellum homes, visit the iconic Rainbow Row, and enjoy the beauty of Waterfront Park on your own or take one of the many highly acclaimed tours available. Don’t miss a visit to Fort Sumter, the site of the first shots of the Civil War, or a leisurely boat tour to experience Charleston’s picturesque waterways.

Come early, or stay late. It’s Charleston after all!
