After May 30, 2021, each list of attendees will be matched to the NHA 2021 Symposium attendance data base to determine the group totals to include the points accrued and dollar amounts spent toward all the formal 2021 NHA Symposium events.  

The additional items listed above not involving Symposium registrations, can be emailed to [email protected] to be tallied, making sure to identify the squadron and or reunion group that submitted them. 

Based on these totals, the 3 suites will be awarded in order of the top 3 groups that entered the contest. 

The three complimentary suites are $167 per night and the following conditions apply: 

The POC or designated rep for the group will be required to sign for the suite with the Viejas Hotel, providing a credit card to cover any and all services charged to the room.
