Dear Colleague:
The DTA Annual Meeting will be held August 11-13, 2009 at the
Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.
This is a great location that is three blocks from Washington’s Union Station,
two blocks from the U.S. Capitol,
and three blocks from the Capitol Mall and the Smithsonian Museums.
Washington is served by three airports:
Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA), Dulles International Airport (IAD) and
Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI).
(See transportation notes below).
The hotel, located at 400 New Jersey Ave., NW, Washington, D.C.,
was recently renovated and will provide a great venue for our comprehensive program.
You will receive the program in a few days.
We have compressed the meeting to provide as much education and networking as possible in the time allocated.
We will begin on Tuesday, August 11 with our traditional reception and dinner.
It will be held at the Hyatt beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Our educational program will run all day on Wednesday, August 12th and a half day on Thursday, August 13th,
closing the meeting at 1:00 p.m.
Our closing speakers are James Carville and Mary Matalin.
What better time in our history to hear their perspective on our political and economic situation.
