Sorry. This form is no longer available.

The Mid America CropLife Association (MACA) quarterly meetings will be held on Wednesday, February 1, 2012, and Thursday, February 2, 2012, at the Marriott St. Louis Airport Hotel, 10700 Peartree Lane, St. Louis, Missouri. The tentative committee schedule and board meeting agendas are attached.  Please note the following items:

  1. Make your hotel arrangements prior to the meeting by calling the Marriott at 800-228-9290 or directly at 314-423-9700 to reserve a room at the rate of $93.00 plus tax.  To ensure the $93 rate, say you are with MACA.  Last day to reserve a hotel room is Tuesday, January 10, 2012 by 5:00 p.m.
  2. There is a complimentary shuttle to and from Lambert Airport 24 hours a day.
  3. Please plan to join Secretary/Treasurer Greg Reigh and Immediate Past President David Flakne for dinner and roundtable discussion on Wednesday evening, February 1.
  4. The board meeting will begin at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday morning and will be concluded by 11:00. Please plan your departures after that time.
  5. Please extend a personal invite to someone from your company or someone you know in the industry to attend the MACA meetings on Wednesday.
  6. In an effort to control costs, there is a charge of $25 per person to defray meeting costs.  The charges will be billed to your room – if you are staying at the Marriott.  Otherwise MACA will invoice you following the meeting.  (Cancellations must be received in writing by noon, January 27, in order to receive a refund. If a person registers, but does not give proper cancellation notice, the person will be billed accordingly.)

See you in St. Louis!
