State Association attendees should reserve rooms directly with the hotel. A credit card and one-night's deposit will be needed to secure the room, but state execs will not be charged for Wednesday night (August 3) or Thursday night (August 4). However, state execs are responsible for any cancellation charges incurred. See below for the hotel's cancellation policy.
