Each year, the annual convention brings together <strong>Soba</strong>ns and registered members of<br />
<strong>Soba</strong> <strong>America</strong> from around the continental United States and Canada. Sometimes we<br />
have <strong>Soba</strong>ns as guests from around the world. We know that these face-to-face meetings<br />
are important as we move forward and grow <strong>Soba</strong> <strong>America</strong> membership.<br />
The 2016 convention included an “Early Bird” reception on Thursday, a welcome reception<br />
on Friday, convention deliberations on Saturday morning, a gala on Saturday night<br />
and “barbeque” reception on Sunday afternoon.<br />
As we all know, events like this take a great deal of planning. We want to lift up the efforts<br />
of the Houston chapter and thank them for their time and energy in planning the 2016<br />
convention. The 2017 convention will be hosted by the Georgia Chapter. We hope to see<br />
you in Atlanta for the 2017 convention!<br />
I talked to <strong>Soba</strong>n Mbei Enoh, Secretary General of <strong>Soba</strong> <strong>America</strong> and Houston Convention<br />
Czar, to reflect on the convention. I also talked to <strong>Soba</strong> <strong>America</strong> President Emeritus<br />
Larry Ekaney to reflect on the 2016 convention. The articles that follow are summaries<br />
of their assessments.<br />
