PVA Region Meetings

PVA's Region Meetings have become extremely important to the Passenger Vessel Association and its members. These cost-effective meetings provide an opportunity for members to gather in easily accessible locations to consider local, regional and national issues of importance to their businesses. These 1-1/2 day meetings are “mini conventions” in that they present important seminars, workshops and sessions but on a much smaller scale. This allows for valuable member interaction and input and, as a result, establishes an excellent interactive environment for all attendees.
