We all owe a debt to the amazing collection of cavers that have stepped up to put our convention together.  We formally brought the plan to the board in November of 2023 and had a final go-ahead near the end of 2023.  For those of us with an eye on the calendar, it was only a breathtakingly short year and a half until our convention would happen.  We dove in, having finally secured promising facilities and trusting that a team could emerge that would do justice to such a significant national event.  We are now pleased to present those leading this true team effort.
