Will it be all work at this conference? While we definitely plan to work you hard, there will be a fun event too! On Thursday afternoon, October 30, from 3:00 - 6:30 PM, we will have a membership networking and fund raising event for 2019 ICMA Annual Conference in Nashville. TCMA will have exclusive use of the Davy Crockett Mini-Golf Course for an afternoon of competitive "putt-putt" with a cookout afterwards. Everyone can play putt-putt! Spouses or partners are welcomed to attend. More details on the event and registration will be addressed in a follow up communication.
