Star Island will host its annual meeting for Chairs + Registrars starting at 10 AM on Saturday, February 7 in our Portsmouth office. All chairs and registars are encouraged to attend the mid-day meeting.

The meeting is led by Star Island staff including Conference Center Director, Justina Maji, and Information Services Manager, Mike Bray. The day provides valuable information for chairs and registrars to carry on their volunteer work through the completion of their respective conference. In general, the meeting is broken up in two parts. Starting at 10 am and going until an 11:45 AM lunch break, the meeting is generally geared towards conference chairs. After the lunch break, starting at approximately 12:30 PM, the meeting focuses on items for registrars, specifically online registration.

Chairs and registrars should feel free to attend for the portion of the day that suits their interests most. Of note, registrars might be interested in coming before lunch to hear information about boats and luggage, as your registrants will most likely have questions about such.

The Chairs + Registrars Meeting will not be broadcast on the internet; however, if you rsvp that you are unable to come, Justina will reach out to you to schedule a time to talk with you about what you missed in the meeting.

Parking

Portsmouth isn’t known for its ample parking, especially during the weekend. But there are a couple of free parking lots that you might want to consider, though they do require a bit of a walk.

  • Parrot Ave Lot by Citizens Bank/Portsmouth District Court
  • Masonic Temple Lot

If you want to park and don’t mind paying for it, and you don’t want to worry about feeding meters, try the High-Hanover Parking Garage.
