NASDA is divided into four regions. The northeast region, known as NEASDA (NE=northeast), includes ten states: the six New England states, NY, NJ, PA and DE. Each summer NEASDA holds a meeting in one of those ten states. This year's NEASDA meeting is at Jay Peak on June 5-7 (info). Yankee and Farm Credit East are sponsors of this meeting.
The events on the first day of the meeting included the presentation of a donation to Keep Local Farms from Ski Vermont:

Parts of the expansion are now complete. The rest is under construction and will be completed over the next nine months or so. Below is a photo from the tram of the newest lodge under construction.
