USP Thanks All 2010 Membership Meeting Attendees — USP thanks all who participated in the USP Convention's Membership Meeting April 21-24, 2010 in Washington, D.C. A record number of people attended, including 274 Delegates and Alternates, 10 Honorary Members, 37 Official Observers, and 79 invited guests and other attendees. To participate, several people overcame great barriers related to restricted air travel caused by the volcano in Europe. We also appreciate the efforts of those who tried, but were unable to attend. Your enthusiasm and commitment to USP helped to make the meeting a vibrant success. We hope you had a positive experience and look forward to engaging you and your constituents in USP activities in the future. Please send any feedback on the meeting, including the program, hotel, venues, or other aspects.
