Donna, Washington, DC was supposed to host the event every 5th year. They hosted the first meeting when Experiment Station and Extension combined, but have not hosted since. Y'all have fun!

I know we are all experiencing precarious times and the idea of hosting such an affair is daunting. However, the West Virginia folks are doing a great job this year and they've created a handbook for future hosting institutions that will be a tremendous administrative help. Also, it is NERAOC tradition that the current year host forwards seed money to the next hosting institution (typically a minimum of $30,000) to offset initial expenses until registrations come in. Apparently, only one institution has ever lost money on the event and that was because they were not conservative booking their block of hotel rooms. Please let me know if you are interested in being the host institution in 2013, and if you need additional information for a proposal to your decision-makers, I'll respond ASAP. Hosting NERAOC would provide an excellent opportunity to introduce your state's scenic beauty and vacation attractions to a national audience. Please give your serious consideration to serving as host for this wonderful event. Thank you!
