I wanted to make you aware of an opportunity to attend the 7^th Annual Legislative Summit at a reduced cost. I have just learned that a $200.00 scholarship is being made available for travel buyers interested in attending this year’s Legislative Summit, June 16-17 in Washington, D.C.* I understand some of you may not be able to take advantage of the scholarship because you are allied members, but feel free to send this to your membership.

If you are interested in applying for the scholarship, please fill out the attached application and email it to or fax to (703) 236-1196.

With the $200 scholarship savings, registration rates are only:

$75.00 for NBTA Members

$175.00 for Non NBTA or Chapter members

This is a tremendous offer. The scholarships are limited, so make sure to get yours in TODAY!

Those who have already registered at full cost are still able to apply for the scholarship.

*Scholarship winners are required to stay at the L’Enfant Plaza hotel.
