Lost Years | 1993 & 1994
1993-1994 might be referred as the 'lost years' because of the financial difficulties and lost information. In 1994, NEACURH addressed financial challenges by adding educational sessions, networking, and traditional conference activities to its No-Frills conference. This change increased attendance, improved the region's finance, and established NEACURH as the first NACURH region to include "Frills" at business conferences. This became known as "Mini's," helping NEACURH build reputation over the next 30 years as NACURH's most spirited and programming-focused region.
