This was the first location to be chosen under new rules whereby the AG site is chosen nationally before a local committee is put together (instead of the local committee forming and making a proposal to be approved by the AMC as in the past). In 2015, [[Marc Lederman]] was appointed by the AMC as the chairman of this AG, remaining the official chair even after his 2016 death; [[Heather Poirier]] and [[LaRae Bakerink]] were subsequently appointed as co-vice-chairs.
