In dressing for the meeting and Its associated events, please note that the idea is to be comfortable. Below is a guide on typical attire.

The Executive Board Meeting is casual – jeans, khakis and polo shirts – as most of the Board arrives just in time for the meeting.

The Welcome Reception and the ABD Hospitality Rooms are also casual dress events as most people have only arrived and checked in.

The conference is business casual.  For men that ranges from sport coats and dress pants to khakis and polo shirts.  For women that ranges from dress pants or skirts and jackets, to khakis and polo shirts.  For women, we suggest wearing either a jacket or cardigan since air conditioning always is an issue at hotel events.

For the spouse tour, wear comfortable walking shoes and casual clothes.

The ABD event is essentially a tailgate party this year.  Dress as you would for a tailgate party by wearing your team colors.  This is a casual event with barbecue, bluegrass music, trivia games, and shooting basketball as part of the entertainment.  There is even an opportunity to tour the museum.

See Monday for dressing for the conference.

For the spouse tour, see Monday.

The Annual Banquet is a coat and tie event for the men.    For the women, there is a broader range.  Some wear business suits, some prefer to wear cocktail attire.  Wear whatever suits you.

As most people will be traveling this day, it is not unusual to see people in jeans and tennis shoes.
