Association (MIAMA) by Craig Flor, President Te 39th


Minnesota Ice Arena Managers Annual MIAMA Fall Conference


at Breezy Point Resorts in Breezy Point, Minn. Sept. 2-5 was once again a great suc- cess. Tis year 125 members attended educational sessions with topics ranging from employee training and facility docu- mentation to refrigeration principals and


energy management. Our vendor trade show had 44 mem- bers to discuss the latest and greatest of what they have to offer. We had a compelling general session by a Twin Cities sports anchor called “Silent Impact,” regarding how each of us can impact those around us more by what we do when we are not trying to manage, direct or impress others. Te event provided an enjoyable time of learning and networking. Winter hockey and figure skating seasons are well under


way with all of our member rinks staying quite busy. Looking forward to a successful season for all the rink users and associations, as well as for our arena member staffs.
