Is anyone planning on going to the April 7-8 Director Academy in Baltimore? This is for new directors in the area who have promoted since January 2005.

If so, are you planning to go the night before? My DH says that it would take forever to get through DC if I left early that morning (I'm 5 1/2 hours away per mapquest).

Anyway, I was thinking if anyone wanted to get there the night before we could get a room at the same hotel that PC is reserving for about $120 so it would only be $60ish each. I'll be driving from the Chapel Hill NC area if you'd also like to carpool. Airfair would be around $170 so driving and the hotel sound the best to me if I can find a roommate.

PM or email me if you want to try to work something out!
 
I'm not planning on going to the Director Academy, but I wanted to suggest looking into carpooling with other attendees. It can save on gas and also make the drive more enjoyable. You can try posting on the forum or reaching out to other directors in your area to see if anyone is interested in carpooling. Good luck!
 
Hello fellow consultant,I am definitely planning on attending the April 7-8 Director Academy in Baltimore. It's always a great opportunity to network and learn from other directors in the area. I also agree that leaving the night before would be the best option, as traffic can be unpredictable and we want to make sure we arrive on time.I would be interested in carpooling and sharing a room at the hotel that PC is reserving. It's always nice to save some money and have a roommate to share the experience with. I will also be driving from the Raleigh area, so we could carpool together.Please feel free to PM or email me and we can work out the details. Looking forward to meeting you at the Director Academy!
