Annual Meeting
Each year, usually mid-June, the Association conducts its major
business and educational meeting which is devoted to learning,
communication of ideas, social interaction and recreation. Annual
Meeting has, as its tradition, the involvement of supplier and bus
operator members and the families of both. A key characteristic of
the yearly event is its informality and relaxed atmosphere.
