2014 hotel recommended; Vote needed Oct. 18, 2012

APSE's officers recommend the Marriott Crystal Gateway in the Washington D.C. suburb of Arlington, Va., as the hotel for APSE's June 25-28, 2014 summer conference.

The room rate for this Marriott will be $189. Downtown D.C. hotels that were checked were $209 and up.

Complimentary Internet in the sleeping rooms is included in the room rate. Shuttle service to and from Reagan Airport is free.

The Crystal Gateway Marriott is a large hotel with a large lobby and bar. An Metro stop is located steps away in an underground "city" that features shops and restaurants and sports bars. There are 50 restaurants nearby, below and above ground. Downtown D.C. is 10 minutes away by the Metro.

An Internet vote by the Executive Committee — current officers, region chairs, past [presidents — is needed because this proposal is on the table for just two weeks.

Please send your vote to APSE Executive Director Jack Berninger at jackapse@aol.com

Jul 28, 2012President’s column: The time is now to invest in the future of APSE

Sponsoring a student through APSE’s new Student Outreach Initiative is a great way to give back to the organization and the future of sports journalism. APSE President Gerry Ahern calls on APSE members to recruit and sponsor one college student as a member of the organization. The students can come from your alma mater or your coverage area. The $25 fee will give the students access to the minds and events that will shape the future of sports journalism.
