The biggest and brightest night of the week — don’t miss this celebration of excellence in rehabilitation research… TEXAS style. Beginning with cocktails, dinner and awards presentations, raise a toast to recipients of prestigious ACRM awards — recognizing outstanding contributions to the field and service to ACRM. Then head for the dance floor and let the party begin…

ATTIRE: While this event is high in class + prestige, low on stress and stressing *CELEBRATION* ACRM-style, which is DOWN-TO-EARTH + FUN. Don’t forget your *bling*, your denim accents, cowboy boots, buckle, or your finest attire of any flavor — anything goes here. Oh and remember, this is BIG TEXAS style, so BIG hair counts, too.
