Tuskegee Airmen Diversity
Speakers
NEW this year! SMRP has invited the Tuskegee Airmen to join
us at SMRP’s dinner banquet as the featured diversity speaker.
They will share their remarkable story of conquering discrimination
and adversity while battling for the right to defend freedom.
The Tuskegee Airmen were a self contained group of pilots,
avionics and weapons specialists, as well as a team of equipment
maintenance and reliability specialists, based on Tuskegee,
Alabama. These brave Airmen simply wanted to join the military
during World War II and help make a difference. Their enduring
spirit will open your eyes as you hear of their unwavering
commitment to defend America’s Freedom. They conquered many
setbacks in their journey, and once they won the right to
protect Freedom, they proved their battle was worth the fight.
We invite you to join SMRP and make a contribution to this
rewarding presentation. The contribution fees will cover the
expenses of the Airmen, while any, and all, additional funds
will be awarded to the Tuskegee Airmen Foundation (http://tuskegeeairmen.org).
Contributions of $250 or more will receive recognition on
the special events page of the SMRP conference website and
signage with company logo at the event. CLICK

SMRP would like to thank the following for their generous contribution:
Rock-n-Bowl Networking
Reception
The Corner Alley is the ultimate entertainment experience
for SMRP members to network, combining a 16 lane hip bowling
alley, billiards, a martini bar and sleek, casual-dining.
Each year the networking receptions bring more and more members
- last year was sold out - so you won't want to be left out
of the Rock-n-Bowl. Space is limited, so sign up at the time
you register for the conference for only $25/person. Guests
and Spouses are welcome.
Spouse Programs
While the attendees are busy with the educational sessions
and roaming the exhibit hall floor, the guests and spouses
can enjoy a great time seeing Cleveland.... by land, by water
and by drinking wine in the local vineyards! SMRP has two
wonderful programs planned for Tuesday, October 21 and Wednesday,
October 22. Each program costs $75/person and includes breakfast,
lunch, transportation, guide and access to the tours. Due
to the nature of the tours, no children will be allowed. Registration
