Annual Business Meeting and Transfer of the Gavel

NAPAHE's 38th Annual Business Meeting will be held on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at 8:15 a.m. EST in the Independence Ballroom of the Marriott Marquis Washington D.C. hotel. Join us for breakfast on Saturday for The Annual Business Meeting and Transfer of the Gavel. All attendees are encouraged to attend. NAPAHE members are invited to vote.

Networking Activities

Connect with colleagues in a casual atmosphere.

NAPAHE has partnered with nearby Escape Game Penn Quarter for a private group networking activity! In our 1-hour games, you and your team of NAPAHE colleagues are heroes on a mission. You’ll enter a highly immersive, multi-room set where you’ll crack codes, uncover clues, and solve puzzles. The games are collaborative, tactile, story-driven, and about more than just escaping: they are adventures. Games start at 7:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 23. Separate, advanced registration and payment are required. Transportation not included.


Dinner Groups

Dine with friends and meet new ones.

Looking for a low-key way to dine with NAPAHE colleagues? NAPAHE has identified a number of nearby restaurants for attendees to dine at in small groups. Join with a friend or meet some new ones. Advanced sign-up is strongly recommended. Pre-payment is not required (all dining is self-pay). More information will be available soon!
