The Annual Conference

An Annual Conference of the MACUHO region is held every year, typically in the Fall semester, and hosted by a member institution(s). Over the years, the Annual Conference has become the focal point of the Association's activities, a tribute to the succession of Host and Program Committees that have made these events happen. The other committees have also taken the lead to present timely and educational information to the membership through a combination of drive-in workshops, printed materials and conference sessions.
