The 2009 TCA National Convention
The J.W. Marriot Desert Ridge Resort in North Phoenix/Scottsdale Arizona will be the site of the 55th TCA
National Convention. This convention will be hosted by the TCA Desert Division.
In 2002 the TCA National Board of Directors unanimously approved
a request by Desert Division to shift the National Convention date
from June to July, 2009. This exception will facilitate
the use of the Desert Ridge Resort as the convention hotel and
means the attendees in 2009 will be staying in a five star resort, complete
with 4 acres of pools, 100,000 square feet of exhibition space, 950 rooms
(all with view balconies), two golf courses, and 9
restaurants. Ed Micale is the convention chairman. For more
