Forward Focus

2010 AHAM Annual Member Meeting
Sunday, April 25, 2010–Monday, April 26, 2010
Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa
Litchfield Park, Arizona

The Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa, an Arizona landmark for generations, is the venue for AHAM’s 2010 annual member meeting, Forward Focus. This historic and comfortable setting provides attendees a unique opportunity to learn the latest facts on the important issues facing the industry, conduct AHAM business, help define the AHAM mission going forward, and network with industry peers and stakeholders.

A key element of the Wigwam meeting will be a special panel discussion by sustainability experts from our industry and others to help AHAM define its role in this area as called for in our strategic plan.  Following the meeting the Board will consider next steps for the Association to pursue. 

We also have lined up some outstanding speakers who will provide timely overviews of important market and regulatory trends. All four AHAM membership divisions will hold business meetings.  The Supplier Division will meet on Saturday, April 24, Floor Care on Sunday, April 25, and the Major and Portable Appliance Divisions Monday, April 26.

On Sunday, April 25, golf and tennis events start the day, followed by a relaxing and now favorite afternoon poolside buffet which is a great opportunity to network and meet new friends.  Sunday evening’s informal buffet dinner will include presentation of the Sports Awards and entertainment by a rock and roll band with special ties to one of AHAM’s own. Bring your dancing shoes!

There are special opportunities for spouses and guests to enjoy some of Arizona’s spectacular beauty and history.  And we will conclude our annual meeting with presentation of the Industry Achievement Awards, including the prestigious Home Appliance Industry Leadership (HAIL) award. 

For 2010 we will continue to offer a registration discount for additional same-company registrations.  If you want to be a part of the strategy for the future of the appliance industry, you won’t want to miss Forward Focus at the Wigwam.  We look forward to seeing you there!
