I pray that each of you are in good health/spirit and having an awesome year to date! I am proud and excited as we come together for our 2019 Western Leadership Conference in Tucson, Arizona from April 4th thru April 7th, 2019! Our host hotel for this year's conference will be The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa. This upscale resort sits in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains right outside of Tucson Proper and is about 20 minutes away from the Tucson Airport and gives the feeling of a "Paradise in the Desert".
Brothers and guests can look forward to the resort's standard rooms which offer mountain views and come with 42-inch flat-screen TV's, rainfall shower heads in upgraded bathrooms, plus patios or balconies. Upgraded suites add separate living rooms, wet bars, fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. Amenity options include a Southwestern restaurant, a casual bar and grill and a coffee shop. In addition, the resort adds exclusive amenity options with five outdoor pools and a waterslide, as well as a fitness center, kid's club, a world-class spa and a championship 27-hole golf course.
As with all of our Leadership Conferences, you can look forward to our Leadership Conference feature events that will be held at the resort; Dr. Guilbert A. Dailey Oratorical and Debate Contest, Billboard-Jackson Competition. In addition, we will be having other exciting Leadership Conference staple events such as the Miss Phi Beta Sigma Western Region Scholarship Pageant and the Regional Step/Stroll Competition on the campus of the University of Arizona. This conference promises to be exciting with dynamic leadership training and dynamic fellowship on a dynamic resort combined with providing quality time for brothers and guests to enjoy the city of Tucson.
You can find all the information in reference to the conference and hotel information is on our Regional Website http://pbswest.org. Chapter planning kits are due no later than Sunday, March 3, 2019, for conference participation. We look forward to seeing in Tucson!
