Support the 2008 Convention
Letter from Rockney A. Nigretto, International President
The 82d Annual Propeller Club International Maritime Industry Conference and Convention, hosted by The Propeller Club, Port of Baltimore, will take place October 7-10, 2008 in Baltimore, Maryland. The theme for this year’s Convention is “Partners of Industry and Guardians of the Sea: A Collaborative Discussion of Maritime Issues”. The discussion panels this year will include experts and professionals in their fields in topics that include “Foreign Investment in the US Maritime Industry”, “Maritime Security” and “LNG Issues”. I hope you will take this great opportunity to join us in Baltimore and make a positive impact with The Propeller Club. In addition to the interesting speakers and panelists, there will also be the usual exceptional opportunities to network and share information you know and learn. There are also important Propeller Club issues to be addressed and solved to help make The International Propeller Club more viable, visible and valuable. I urge you to take the opportunity to attend this Conference and Convention.
To host a Propeller Club International Maritime Conference and Convention is quite an undertaking in all respects. Fundraising is an important, key component to insure the success of this event. Enclosed you will find the Sponsorship Program that the Propeller Club, Port of Baltimore has created allowing participation at many levels. Please take the time to review and select a level of participation that you think would fit best. When you become a sponsor, not only do you receive the benefits shown on the Sponsorship Program, but you will be recognized prominently throughout the event and in the Conference and Convention publications. Your club or organization’s support is vital to the future of our organization.
Again, I urge you to attend and support the International Propeller Club Conference and Convention in Baltimore this October. You will find registration, hotel information, Conference and Convention information listed at the Propeller Club, Port of Baltimore website www.propellerclubofbaltimore.com. I hope to see you there.
