Monday Opening Keynote: Bringing Culture Change to Your Pool with AGRiP Resident, Jamie Notter
We’ve always known that pool culture is special, but now we can prove it. AGRiP’s 2024 Resident, Jamie Notter will share insights on pool culture derived from culture assessments conducted as part of AGRiP’s Conscious Culture Residency. Learn where pools fall on the culture continuum, which areas they struggle with, and the areas where they excel. You will also learn practical steps for addressing common culture challenges.

Tuesday Night Closing Event: Lone Star State Private Rodeo and BBQ
Pool members, QEI Patrons, nonmembers and guests who pre-register for this event will join one another to enjoy an authentic, private rodeo and Texas BBQ in the Lone Star State. The evening will include a glimpse into rodeo life with barrel racing, roping and a calf scramble. Attendees will have a chance to learn how to rope like a cowboy or cowgirl and have their picture taken on a bull. Don’t miss this true Texas experience they call the “Greatest Show on Dirt”! Pre-registration required. Fee: $110 for members and $150 for nonmembers.
