Parking garage entrance is
on the Taylor Street entrance to the building.
It is also important to stress
the importance of the following regulations posted in the garage in
order to ensure a favorable parking experience for all parkers.
This would include:
- Driving carefully
and watching your speed (5 MPH);
- Parking within the
striped outline of the parking space to avoid taking two spaces and
being ticketed;
- Respecting the spaces
marked RESERVED for those they are reserved for;
- Avoid parking in
handicapped spaces unless you have a visible handicapped permit;
- Park compact vehicles
in compact spaces only.
TO ENTER: drive
into the parking garage and take a ticket, it activates the barrier.
You may park at any available space not marked as reserved.
Take the garage elevator (centrally
located on all garage levels) to the Lobby (button marked PL).
There will be signs to Conference Room for the meeting. A concierge
will also be in the main Lobby to help with directions.
TO EXIT: take the garage
elevator to the floor that you are parked on, follow the exit signs
out. The doors will automatically open when you approach.
CPSM Reminder:
The first Module is set for October 02, 2010. See the CPSM information
located on NAPM-NCA’s Home Page.
I am looking forward to seeing
each and everyone of you at the September 14th dinner meeting.
We, as a BOD are excited about this new year for NAPM-NCA and we know
you as members will be excited when you experience the creative and
new initiatives that will be introduced to the members.
