| WELCOME TO AHQA 2005 WASHINGTON
WEEK!
The American Health Quality Association cordially invites you to attend
the AHQA 2005 Washington Week, May 23 through May 27, 2005. All events
will be taking place at the Renaissance Washington, DC Hotel, unless
otherwise noted. For your convenience we have included a draft schedule
of major events for the entire week. Each event listing includes
specific staff contact information, location and notice if separate
registration is required. We would like to draw your attention
to a few important details:
Hotel Information
Please
note that the hotel room block at the Renaissance Hotel (202-898-9000)
closes April 22 nd, and has limited sleeping room availability. If
you have not already made reservations, you should do so immediately. Once
the main hotel is full, we will not be booking an overflow property and
hotel arrangements will be up to each individual. There is a major
city-wide conference in DC that week, so hotel sleeping rooms will be
very hard to obtain. Please be sure to book your sleeping rooms
based on actual travel to minimize last minute attrition penalties being
charged to the Association. For additional hotel details, visit: www.ccbhconference.org and
click on “Hotel Information”.
