ANNUAL CONFAB

ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND TALENT SHOWCASE

SAVE THE DATE!

Don’t miss the 2012 STEP Conference and Talent Showcase!

The Houston Chapter is organizing an amazing educational and networking experience!

Hotel:

Be fascinated. The Tremont House, a Wyndham Grand Hotel in Galveston blends the best of yesterday and today to create absolutely timeless comfort. Imagine, our building and the light bulb were created in the very same year. So we'd say 1879 was a rousing success. Here the only thing that outshines the restored hotel's Edwardian architecture is the service you'll enjoy. Marvel at the 14' ceilings, ironwork bridges and balconies, and even a four-story Atrium in what was once a dry goods warehouse. What's more, since we're just steps from the historic Strand, you're close to all that Galveston, Texas, has to offer.
