A Message from <strong>Conference</strong> Chairman<br />

TONY J. SIRVELLO, III<br />

Over the past eighteen years, I have been privileged <strong>to</strong> serve as Chair <strong>of</strong> IACREOT’s Site Selection<br />

Committee, with the responsibility <strong>of</strong> contacting various locations around the country with our<br />

conference requirements and asking for responses. This is the process that led <strong>to</strong> the selection<br />

<strong>of</strong> Louisville, Kentucky as the site <strong>of</strong> this year’s Annual <strong>Conference</strong> and Trade Show. As has been<br />

the case so many times in the past, you, as an attendee, guest, vendor or speaker will enjoy a<br />

conference <strong>of</strong> unparalleled excellence.<br />

The mot<strong>to</strong> for the City <strong>of</strong> Louisville is “IT’S POSSIBLE HERE.” With the plans in place for your<br />

education and enjoyment, I can assure you that will most definitely be the case. Led by President<br />

Joanne Rajoppi, <strong>Conference</strong> Co-Chair Linda von Nessi, Presidential Assistant Nicole DiRado,<br />

Trade Show Direc<strong>to</strong>r Peggy Sparks and your Boards and Committee Chairs, an agenda has been<br />

planned <strong>to</strong> energize you with education seminars and yet leaving you time <strong>to</strong> explore this his<strong>to</strong>rical city.<br />

What sights and sounds await you when you are not in<strong>to</strong> the daily agenda? Churchill Downs, the Louisville Slugger Museum &<br />

Fac<strong>to</strong>ry, the Waterfront, Bourbon Distilleries, Fourth Street Live (a few blocks down the street from the Galt House) and so much more.<br />

All attendees will be housed in the Galt House Hotel in the Suites Tower. All business events, from George Washing<strong>to</strong>n University<br />

Courses <strong>to</strong> the Opening Session, the education seminars, <strong>to</strong> the closing Banquet will be hosted on property, facilitating your<br />

LAST BUT NOT LEAST...<br />

Encourage others <strong>to</strong> join IACREOT and attend our 42nd Annual <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

2013 IACREOT Annual Blood Drive<br />

June 29, 2013 • 1:00 pm- 5:00 pm<br />

The annual IACREOT blood drive is another great example <strong>of</strong> giving back <strong>to</strong> the community. Each pint <strong>of</strong> blood<br />

donated can be split up and used for multiple people. There is no substitution for human blood; donating blood<br />

saves lives!<br />

Facts about blood needs: Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood * One out <strong>of</strong> every 10 people<br />

admitted in a hospital needs blood * More than 1 million new people are diagnosed with cancer each year.<br />

Many <strong>of</strong> them will need blood, sometimes daily, during their chemotherapy treatment *A single car accident<br />

victim can require as many as 100 units <strong>of</strong> blood.<br />
