We were also fortunate enough to have Secretary of Department of Commerce James Bailey kick off our Tuesday Business Session (sponsored by ComplyAuto) with a fireside chat with Del. Matthew Rohrbach and Sen. Glenn Jeffries. Sherryl Nens with ComplyAuto was our second speaker, who updated our attendees on the CARS Rule. WVU’s football coach, Neal Brown, joined us as well and closed out our business sessions. Although we had packed mornings with business sessions, we were also able to have some fun on the island. After everyone registered and received their welcome gifts (sponsored by Tetrick and Bartlett and Carsignment), we hosted a welcome reception (sponsored by Cross-Sell) on The Sanctuary’s Grand Lawn to say hello to all attendees. Following that, we held our Golf Tournament (sponsored by Good News Mountaineer Garage) on the Osprey Golf Course, where Specialty Underwriters Group sponsored the golf beverage cart and TrueCar sponsored the box lunches. We ended Monday night with our Ally Pool Party Bash at Night Heron Park and Pool, where the children enjoyed snow cones and hair braiding while swimming with a mermaid! Our attendees enjoyed delicious food (sponsored by WSAZ, Jackson Kelly, Reynolds & Reynolds and NADA Empower) and drinks (sponsored by Integrum, Cox Automotive, TylerTechnologies and DDI Technology). Our guests ended the night by dancing with DJ Trevor (sponsored by JM&A Group). Tuesday was just as much fun, with our Clay Shoot Tournament (sponsored by Capital Automotive), which took place on a boat this year! Thank you to Zurich for sponsoring the box lunches for the excursion. Once everyone was rested and all dressed up, our attendees joined us at Mingo Point for the Chairman’s Reception (sponsored by ChampTitles) and Chairman’s Dinner (sponsored by United Bank). During the night, attendees enjoyed Sunset Cruises (sponsored by Capital City and Mountain State Auto Auction), our photo booth (sponsored by Brightline Dealer Advisors) or they joined us on the dance floor listening to the 100 Grand Band (sponsored by USI). Once everyone was able to get some delicious seafood broil and drinks (sponsored by ACV Auctions, DMS, People’s Bank, and WCHS), they could relax by the fire with s’mores while the children enjoyed face painting and wearing out some energy on the two inflatables (sponsored by CVR).
