2024 MBDA Annual Convention is Cancelled

Dear Members,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of our upcoming convention, originally scheduled for October 25-27.  This difficult decision comes in light of the recent passing of Stephanie Eckert, who was an indispensable part of our team and has been instrumental in organizing our convention for the past 40 years.

Stephanie’s dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment were the cornerstone of our convention’s success, and her absence leaves a void that cannot be filled. In honor of her legacy and to ensure that we can continue to support the many initiatives she championed, we have decided to cancel this year’s event.

We understand that this news may be disappointing, and we regret any inconvenience this may cause. To help offset the costs associated with the cancellation and support ongoing efforts in Stephanie’s memory, we are establishing a Cancellation Fund. We kindly ask each member to consider contributing $250 to this fund.

Your support will assist with the financial implications of the cancellation and ensure that we can continue to uphold the standards and values that Stephanie worked so tirelessly to promote. Contributions can be made directly to the MBDAPA via check and sent to 2330 Jacksonville Rd., Bethlehem PA 18017

If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at MBDA at mbdassn@aol.com.

Though we are saddened to share this news we are excited to return back to Kalahari Resorts next year to resume the convention that will be held in honor of Stephanie and all the work that she did for us. So, mark your calendars, we will be back October 24-26 2025.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support during this challenging time. We look forward to future opportunities to gather and celebrate our shared successes in Stephanie’s honor.

Sincerely,

Chris Miller

1st Vice President

MBDA
