MARK THIS DATE: MARA will hold a Road Conference on September 27, 2025 at Gathering Place, a large Venue at Maple Hill Farm Conference Center, again with options for in-person or “Zoom” attendance! We will begin Registration next year on July 15 by activating a link to Event Registration. Maple Hill Farm Inn is so beautiful. This place has been very well-received by attendees and speakers alike for our previous in-person events in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Last year's Speakers were very well received: Attorneys Mary Denison and John Cunningham teamed up to present their thoughts on the legal aspects of living on private roads with plenty of time for questions from in-person and Zoom attendees; Peter Coughlan, Director, Community services Division, Maine State Department of Transportation, discussed road maintenance; Carl Pease, a Professional Registered Parliamentarian with the National Association of Parliamentarians, introduced parliamentary procedure at road association meetings; and Hank Margolis, an experienced contract negotiator and President of the Woods Lake Association, a statutory road association in Bridgton, provided a workshop in contract negotiation practices and techniques for road associations. The MARA Board and Conference Planning Team look forward to joining Members and Non-member Guests for a wonderful, productive experience for everyone involved, next year, on Saturday, September 27, 2025 at Gathering Place, Maple Hill Farm Inn and Conference Center. Sincerely, Sandy Andrew L.
