    The 2021 Annual MRA Educational Conference & Trade Show scheduled for October 11 – 13, 2021 at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines Resort in La Jolla, California, in partnership with the California Association of Harbor Masters & Port Captains, will bring together two pivotal marine industry organizations with an expanded theme, Climate for Change focused on coastal and inland climate change issues, enhancing guest services and customer satisfaction, improving operations and regulatory compliance, and optimizing fiscal results for private and municipal marinas.
     
    This year’s Conference is very honored to welcome Bill Yeargin, President & Chief Executive Officer of Correct Craft as Keynote Speaker on Wednesday October 13th at 8:30 AM to kick-off the final day of the Conference.
