President's Message

Friends and Members

As 2025 fades away, our Joint OBOA/SWOBOA 2026 is almost a year away. We could not be more excited to deliver another quality educational program to all. We will line up professionals and experts in their field to provide you with outstanding education and training. We are moving forward with a new registration and interactive system that will make your conference experience like no other. Our committees are working diligently to cover all your educational and training needs.

The Conference will take place at the Hilton Netherland Hotel in gorgeous downtown Cincinnati, Ohio November the 14^th through the 17^th of 2026.

Keep your eyes open for more information coming through the digital pipeline. We will soon open a page with information and updates for the conference.

Meantime, if you are attending the OBOA/NWOBOA 2025 Conference stop by our table for complementary treats and meet some of our Board members.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Respectfully,

Rafic Nakouzi
