April 20 - April22 

This is the longest existing annual convention in the history of naturopathic medicine in the world!!! It has been rewarding to have been serving in some capacity on the convention committee from its’ inception. Having missed only one convention in that time, I have seen the attendance grow and the quality of the convention improve. I believe we have only started to tap the potential of this convention as there are unlimited growth possibilities with its resultant rewards. This convention provides a unique opportunity to enhance regional strengths. Ideally, there should be similar regional conventions in eastern Canada , northeast, southeast, mid-central, and southwest areas of the United States . There should not be any conflict with either state or national associations. Rather, they should embrace each other. Desirably, the national associations’ conventions should not be held in the same state that is hosting a regional convention, such as the Northwest, in the same year. It would be nice to think states/provinces would not intentionally compete with seminars, etc. during the same weekend. Dr. Jim Sensenig, the past President of the A.A.N.P. states that this is the outstanding convention of the year, not solely due to academia, but due to the camaraderie that accompanies it.
