This event provides the opportunity for us to share our commitment to saving lives and to network and strengthen our partnerships throughout the country. The Banquet is included in the registration fee for those attending the NAWHSL Conference. For those attending only the Banquet, the cost is $80.00/person – please use the enclosed registration form.
This year we are honored to have the Norfolk Southern Railroad’s “Lawmen” Band entertain us with a “gratis” performance. As Norfolk Southern’s ‘in-house’ band, these musicians perform as goodwill ambassadors all over the United States. A group of professional musicians, they love to play their own unique blend of country, bluegrass, blues, pop, beach, and train music. We look forward to their performance! Please note that the banquet is a dressy affair . . . but be sure to wear your dancing shoes!
