Gala Celebration at the 2010 RCMA World Conference and Exposition

The Religious Conference Management Association’s 2010 World Conference and Exposition in Fort Worth, Texas, included a gala on January 28 at the Fort Worth Convention Center. During the evening’s banquet, RCMA honored Jack Stone, district superintendent, Kentucky District, Church of the Nazarene, Hillview, Ky., with its President’s Award, which is given annually to an RCMA member who has rendered distinguished service to RCMA and the field of religious conference management. During an hour of fellowship prior to the banquet, Religious Conference Manager  Editor Larry Keltto took these photos of RCMA attendees. (Subjects in photos are identified from left to right.)
