Due to lack of participation in the box lunch program at the ODA Annual Meeting, it is being discontinued. However, the Cox Convention Center will now offer concession stands in the Exhibit Hall during the lunch hour. This will hopefully satisfy our meeting attendees with better quality and selection of food for their lunch. The ODA is very excited about this change as meeting attendees have asked for this for many years and we are now able to offer this option.
