Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa

Resource Room and Shipping Information

Do you have a new book, paper, product, or study that you'd like to share with others? SPN is once again opening up a Resource Room to member organizations and attendees during the 17^th Annual Meeting in Asheville, North Carolina.

What to Display?

Our Resource Room will be displayed in the open foyer in front of the main meeting rooms this year. You are encouraged to bring displays, publications and brochures about your organization and area of expertise. Each organization will have a minimum of a 3 foot table-top for display. In an effort to share ‘best practices', you are strongly encouraged to bring samples of your organization's published materials to share. There will not be any way to lock the area at night, so please keep this in mind when planning your exhibit. SPN and The Grove Park Inn will not be responsible for your materials.

Resource Room Ideas

• Communication Directors: Annual reports, press releases, think tank newsletters
• Development Directors: BREs, fundraising brochures, legacy society materials
• Policy Analysts: Issue reports, policy handbooks, published Op-Eds
