2024 MCB State Convention

The 68th MCB State Convention registration is now open.

The convention this year will be hosted by the Blind of Central Missouri.

The convention will be at the Hilton Garden Inn, 19677 E. Jackson Dr., Independence. To make your reservation, call 816-350-3000 before September 2. Check-in time is 3pm. Board members and committee chairs will need to call the office with hotel preferences and registration. All other guests are responsible for making their own reservations. The MCB room rate is $99.00 plus tax. Be sure to mention that you are with the Missouri Council of the Blind Convention. For those who prefer suites, please contact the hotel for availability, as MCB does not have suites in the convention package.

Or, if you want to register online but don’t want to submit payment info online, you can just submit the form below and then call the office with your credit card information.

Please remember that board members and committee chairs do not pay for registration and meals but will need to complete a registration form so we know their meal choices. The registration form must be returned to the MCB office before September 3rd to be considered pre-registration. Please include the entire amount for registration and meals. You must have your meals selected and paid for no later than September 3rd. There will not be any meal tickets sold at the conventions, so if you plan to attend and expect a meal, please make your meal selection, and make payment before September 3rd. There will be no exceptions.

There will be a White Cane Walk Saturday morning starting at 8:30am. We hope you will join in, and rides will be provided for the trip back to the hotel.

The election will be on Saturday afternoon. The membership will vote for President, Vice President, and Secretary. The Agenda is still in draft form and will be sent later.

There will be someone taking photos at the convention this year. Please check the box on the registration form to provide consent to use these photos on our website, Facebook, and other media outlets.

A list of area restaurants will be included in the registration packets.

Check out the Exhibitors and marketplace. Be sure to take a chance on the various raffles that will take place and we hope you will take part in the auction on Saturday night.

Please join us for another successful MCB Convention. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the office at 314-832-7172 or toll free at 1-800-342-5632.
