Annual Assembly
Mark your calendars and make plans to attend the
ITPA 31st Annual Assembly in Hinesville, GA- Home to the ITPA National Office & Telephone Museum!
Once located in Washington, D.C., ITPA's National Office and Museum relocated in 2001 to the small, beautiful city of Hinesville in Liberty County, Georgia. Nestled beneath the majestic oaks draped elegantly with spanish moss, the National Office occupies the former family home of Trudie and Glenn E. Bryant. Mr. Bryant was a pioneer for Hinesville, Liberty County and the telephone industry alike. Bryant served as a GA State Senator and was the founder of Coastal Communications. He bought the Hinesville Telephone Company in 1946.
The ITPA museum consists a vast collection of telephones and telephone equipment from throughout history. Children and adults alike may find it fascinating to see how the telephone evolved from the solid wood, wall mounted, hand cranked, operator directed, simplistic designs of the past to today's pocket sized, touch-screen, cellular phones.
We are excited to host our 31st Annual Assembly at the home of ITPA. Hotel accommodations have been made at the Hampton Inn- Hinesville. We have a block of rooms already reserved for you. Email JoAnn Esposito at espogirl56@yahoo.com to have your name added to the room reservation list for the reduced rate of $129.00 per night (plus taxes). Breakfast is served in the lobby and is included with your stay. Rates are good for one day prior and one day after assembly.
Rest assured the assembly planning committee is looking forward to offering pioneers a schedule that will be fun and full of opportunities to grow as pioneers.
We are in need of items for our Silent Auction. All attendees are encouraged to bring a basket or item to be auctioned off at our silent auction. If you are not attending the assembly and would like to submit an item for the silent auction, please contact the ITPA National Office at 912-408-4872.

Assembly Sponsorship
Dear ITPA Members, Friends, and Industry Partners:
The ITPA National Assembly is a time where ITPA Chapters and Clubs share their community service projects, honor those who have contributed to the industry during our Hall of Fame Luncheon and celebrate the preservation of Telephony and going forward Telecommunications.
Since retiring in 2020 with 40 years of telecommunication experiences, I’m looking forward becoming the President of one the finest volunteer groups serving communities without the United States.
The 31st Annual ITPA Assembly will be held from April 21st thru April 24th, 2023. The place I chose is in Hinesville, GA, the location of our National Office and Museum. Fort Stewart (Army Airfield and base) is also located near our museum.
At the Assembly, I will be inducted a second time as a ITPA National President. I am personally asking for your support of the 31st Annual ITPA Assembly by donating at one of the levels listed (see sheet attached).
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
JoAnn Esposito
1st Vice President, ITPA
