Hello CMPA family,
I hope you all are safe and well. The last week has been interesting for CMPA to say the least, and I wanted to give you an update on our annual conference.
The hotel for our conference in Tahoe has cancelled on us, in their words, “due to an unforeseen operational resort closure and temporary suspension of resort operations.” We were officially informed early this week. Yael scrambled to see what was out there in terms of facilities that can accommodate us, and the CMPA Board of Directors has met several times to receive updates and to decide on a new location. We are finalizing contract terms with a venue in Northern California for the same dates, November 3 – November 6, 2025, and we expect to have an announcement out next week with more details.
Rest assured; the conference will go on! I want to thank Yael for working so hard to find us new space on very short notice, and I’d like to thank the Board for convening on short notice to help with the decision. If you’ve booked the conference and/or a room at the Tahoe hotel, we will be in touch with you to inform you of your options. And if you weren’t going to Tahoe because of the location, I hope you’ll reconsider!
Sincerely,
Jon
