The annual association business meetings will be conducted on the same weekend, and at the same location, as the AZNG Professional Development Program and Civilian, Airmen and Soldier of the Year (CASY) Awards Banquet.  Participants can enjoy a golf tournament followed by lunch or other pre-conference activities on day one (Friday), and a welcome reception in the evening. With an expected audience of over 700 Soldiers and Airmen, on day two (Saturday), attendees can participate in three distinct events. In the morning, there is a professional development session where Soldiers and Airmen listen to fantastic speakers on a wide range of subjects to foster critical thought, learning, and inspiration. The second part of the day is when EANGA and NGAAZ will conduct their separate business sessions with speakers, discussion of resolutions/legislative activities, and the annual election of officers. The final event is the CASY Banquet hosted by Arizona’s Adjutant General.  Further information and registration information can be found below. We hope to see you there!
