Great news! MARA is holding its annual conference this year. Click on Events to learn more. Personally, I find attending these conferences very helpful. I have learned ways to save money, be well informed of legal responsibilities, and meet others. In our association we continuously recruit new board members and send them to these conferences. Our new members receive an excellent orientation on the responsibilities, costs and administration to repair and maintain our roads, so emergency services have access to people and their properties year round. I really appreciate the volunteers who help organize these events. Thank you MARA volunteers.
