The Electrical Generating Systems Association (EGSA) will hold its 2003 Spring Convention March 22-24 in Miami Beach, Fla. The event follows a format filled with educational sessions and seminars, as well as networking opportunities, committee work and recreational activities.

"Each year, the association's Spring Convention offers EGSA members an exceptional opportunity to meet new faces in our industry, make new contacts and cultivate business relationships," said EGSA Executive Director Jalane Kellough. "EGSA's conventions and conferences always feature leading speakers and informative sessions and the upcoming 2003 Spring Convention will be no exception.

"Everyone is really excited about the upcoming convention," Kellough continued. "We'll also be launching a Manufacturer's Forum, which is our new 'mini trade show"

In addition to the numerous educational sessions and networking events, the 2003 Spring Convention program will also include a reception for first-timers, new members and guests, committee meetings, a president's reception and a closing banquet.
