2020 SPRING CONFERENCE HAS BEEN CANCELLED
Dear MAEO members,
Given the circumstances of COVID-19 and by advisement from government and health officials,
the MAEO conference committee and Executive Board has CANCELED our 2020 spring
conference. We appreciate your patience and support, as these decisions are made with the
health and safety of our members and their families in mind.
Steps that need to be completed:
(1) Crystal Mountain Resort is cancelling all room reservations associated with our
conference. They have informed us the credit/return should appear within the next 7 –10 business days. If you wish to double check and confirm cancellations, please call them at (855) 995-5146.
(2) If you mailed in your registration and payment, your conference registration will be fully refunded to your district (or the individual) who made the payment. Our treasurer, Rob Pawloski, will start this process soon in order to get refunds back ASAP. You may
contact him directly at rob.pawloski@spartaschools.org if you have a question or concern.
We want to extend our thanks to all of our members for your continuing support of our
organization and look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s conference.
Stay safe,
MAEO Spring Conference Committee
