District Conference 2023
May 19th-21st
Pittsburgh Marriott North
100 Cranberry Woods Dr, Cranberry Township, PA 16066
Hosted by: Cranberry Township Sunrise
District Governor: Jack Cohen
All year we have been promoting the conference with the focus on family and fun. The purpose of District Conference is to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments that our members, clubs and district have had throughout the year while providing for a memorable fellowship experience. In order to achieve these successes, there is a great deal of hard work that is done, often behind the scenes, and it requires a good deal of our time. In some cases, this means taking time away from our families in order to achieve the desired results, and in some cases involves the family to help pull things off. The conference committee has been working hard to provide something for everyone.
