CHANTILLY, VA — Humorist Dave Barry and financial expert Lou Dobbs will be the featured speakers at the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association’s (SMACNA’s) 58th annual convention, to be held Oct. 21-25 at the Boca Raton Hotel and Resort in Boca Raton, FL.
The opening session will feature syndicated columnist and author Dave Barry, whose speeches are rarely the same and always entertaining, the association said. A columnist for the Miami Herald, his observations appear in more than 500 newspapers in the United States and abroad. In 1988, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary.
