Welcome to the 2024 WMCA Annual Convention!
During the 2-day event, the program will cover important transportation issues, representatives within key roles, networking opportunity and much more. The Osthoff Resort is a stunning AAA Four Diamond resort located on the shore of Elkhart Lake, WI. This year we are having a golf outing at Quit Qui Oc on the first day that we hope everyone will participate in!
