Concerns for health and safety are of the utmost importance to KCA and the Marriott Convention Center.

Protocols for social distancing opportunities, occupancy, and other protective steps will be followed per local and state mandates.
The KCA membership will hold the annual KCA business meeting that Friday afternoon. The meeting consists of policy resolution review and approval. A mail-in ballot will then ratify the membership meeting decisions. Friday evening will include a casual and entertaining competition and social time for attendees.
