Conventions

    The Highpointers Club has an annual convention which is held at or around a state highpoint.  Club members who attend the convention vote on the convention site for the year after the next (2005 convention votes for the 2007 site).  The conventions are rotated from the four regions of the country in the following order: Northeast, South, Midwest, West.

    The first convention was held in 1987, and have been held since that time throughout the country.  Here is a chart listing the location of the conventions since the beginning.
