We look forward to experiencing DU's National Convention each year with our kids. They not only get a taste of a new state, but we get the opportunity to show them the fruits of DU's labor. It's especially rewarding because we believe it helps them to understand and appreciate that what comes out of this organization comes from all of the hard work that goes in!
Tab and I have enjoyed going to National Conventions for several years now. Since our state-hosted convention in Indianapolis in 2018, we have not missed one! We enjoy being able to see different cities as well as spending time meeting new DU friends and catching up with those that we already know. We especially enjoy it when we have a nice group from our state to spend time with!
To me as a long time volunteer, the value is unmeasurable!! So many times long time volunteers of chapters, especially active chapters start to get burned out. The National Convention is like a fountain of youth and totally re-energizes you to keep going! It was such a great time being around other DU volunteers and talking about what they are doing in their chapters and what is working and not working and then seeing the National impact that we all are having for the mission! Just a rewarding and fun time overall with like minded conservationists!
We started the memorable week with a Wednesday night party on the USS Midway, followed by engaging business sessions discussing the state of the ducks. Attendees explored San Diego through unique tours, including a private tour below deck on the USS Midway or a top-rated whale tour. The week concluded with a lively gala featuring cocktails, dinner, and an auction.
Everyone celebrated our big year with great food, music, and DU friends from across the country. We look forward to seeing you in San Diego next year!
