We regret to inform you that the 2026 MASS/Alliance Winter Conference has been canceled due to anticipated severe winter weather conditions.
Based on current weather predictions, much of the state of Mississippi is expected to receive ice and snow this weekend. These conditions may result in unsafe driving conditions across the state. In addition, we recognize the importance of our members remaining close to their districts during the possibility of a winter storm.
Due to these concerns, the decision has been made to cancel the conference in the interest of safety.
All conference registrations will be canceled by the MASS office. You do not need to submit a cancellation notice for your conference registration.
However, participants are responsible for canceling their own hotel reservations at the Sheraton or any other hotel where accommodations were booked for the conference.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we prioritize the safety and well-being of our members. Additional information regarding future events will be shared as it becomes available.
Thank you for your continued support of MASS.
Sincerely,
PHILLIP G BURCHFIELD
Executive Director
