Convention 2000: Houston, Texas

The JW Marriott Hotel at the Galleria was the location of the 69th Convention, hosted June 28-July 2, 2000, in Houston, Texas. This hotel is now called the JW Marriott Houston. More than 600 sisters enjoyed speakers, celebrations, awards ceremonies and business sessions while keeping the Convention’s theme – Dream Big, Shape Identity – in mind.
