country music performers but today present diverse entertain-

ment. Also along the strip are Silver Dollar City, an 1800s-

themed amusement park with live music, the landmark Marvel

Cave and Dolly Parton’s Wild West-style Dixie Stampede din-

ner theater.

With tree-lined shores, crystal clear water and hidden beaches,

it’s little wonder Table Rock Lake is one of the Ozark’s top

destinations. Enjoy boating, fishing, sailing, waterskiing,

wakeboarding, camping, hiking and sightseeing in this beautiful

vacation spot. With almost 800 miles of shoreline, Table Rock

Lake has many beautiful spots for taking a dip in its crystal

clear water. Moonshine Beach, adjacent to the Dewey Short

Visitor Center Recreation Area, is the most popular and offers a

spacious, sandy beach where you can swim, dive, sunbathe,

picnic, hike, play volleyball or just view the wildlife. If you

want to escape larger crowds and boat traffic, the Beaver area

located on the southwest corner of the lake is a favorite swim-

ming spot. Cape Fair, just off Highway 75, offers wide-open

water for plenty of swimming.

Table Rock Lake is nationally renowned as a top fishing spot.

Large numbers of Kentucky spotted bass and white bass thrive

in its diverse underwater structure and immense forage base.

Crappie and large bluegill are caught in abundance. Catfish of

all sizes also roam the lake bottom.

We have reserved a block of rooms at the resort. Our conven-

tion rate for resort rooms is $159 per night plus tax, single or

President Nathan Heilman and his wife, Amanda, wish to ex-

tend a warm MICA invitation to

you to join them as our associa-

tion engages in “Think Safety”.

One of the key benefits of belong-

ing to MICA is your ability to

work with fellow members to

improve your business acumen

and to better your industry. Come

and participate as we share ideas

at our annual convention this

June 20 – 23, 2016, at one of

Missouri’s finest resorts and conference centers; the Chateau on

the Lake Resort & Spa. Located just outside of Branson, Mis-

souri, in the midst of the Ozark Mountains and on the shore of

Table Rock Lake, this picturesque and stately home-away-from

-home presents a stunning view all unto itself. With 301 newly

refurbished guestrooms that feature upscale amenities like

Gilchrist & Soames toiletries, free Wi-Fi, 37” flat-screen

HDTVs with satellite programming, coffeemakers, room ser-

vice, granite countertops and plush bedding, the resort offers

accommodations perfect for our annual convention.

Our 59th Annual Spring Convention will be a special event, and

one that you do not want to miss! The convention will follow

a Monday to Thursday pattern that we have used the past

three years. Based on feedback from our members, we have

moved the arrival date from Sunday of Father’s Day to Mon-

day. This will allow our members to possibly spend Father’s

Day at home with family and friends.

The location of this year’s meeting is designed to allow those of

you who would like to extend the meeting into a vacation time

for the entire family to do so. At the Chateau, you have both

Table Rock Lake and the city of Branson, Missouri, with its

many attractions in your back yard. Recreation activities are

diverse. Branson is an Ozark town in southwest Missouri

known as a family vacation destination. Its 76 Country Boule-

vard is famously lined with theaters, which once hosted mostly

double occupancy. It is highly suggested that you book your

resort reservations now! Call the reservations office at 888-

333-5253 and reference the Midwest Insulation Contractors

Association Meeting. Please note that we have blocked a lim-

ited number of rooms. If you wait until the last minute to re-

serve your room, you run the risk that our block will be filled,

and the resort will not have any additional rooms available. As

we have stated in the past, if you reserve your hotel room now,

you can always cancel it later, but you may not be able to re-

serve a room if you wait too long. We will be monitoring our

block and making room adjustments accordingly. Our block

of rooms will be released on May 18, 2016, but if you wait

until May 18th, the block of rooms will be filled, and we may

not be able to accommodate your needs.

The Board of Directors is most excited about the technical top-

ics and speakers for the spring convention. The topics and

speakers were selected to help educate and inform you on a

variety of industry topics pertinent to our current business cli-

mate. We are going to have presentations that cover a wide

array of topics that will help you grow your knowledge as a

business professional. We will have an opening presentation on

home and Internet security issues. Our keynote speaker, Mr.

Jared Wolthuis, with Flynn's quickED Contractor's Continuing

Education School in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been working

with contractors for over 10 years providing quality continuing

education, support and help with licensing issues. Jared strives

to provide fun and informative seminars, and is a proponent that

continuing education doesn't have to be dull or boring. Jared

will provide a second session just for members on more tech-

nical security issues in business.

Gary Auman will provide an extended update on OSHA re-

quirements that will include a presentation on potential liability

to contractors for their employees who use company vehicles

and take them home with them, as well as for contractors who

bring in travelers from outside the contractor’s state to work on

a project. We will hear from Peter Gauchel as he provides an

enlightening presentation on the newly published 8th edition of

the National Commercial & Industrial Insulation Standards

manual. MICA’s own, Mr. Steve Luse, NIA President for

2016 – 2017, will give us an update on our industry activities at

the national level. A representative from Industrial Info Re-

sources in Minneapolis, will give us his company’s perspective

on the construction industry and where it may be headed during

this election year and beyond.

We will have a union contractor forum, an open shop con-

tractor forum, and an associate member forum all running

simultaneously. This approach allows more of the members to

participate in craft issues without being part of a formal com-

mittee. This spring, neither the labor committee nor the merit

shop committee will formally meet during the convention. This

format will give each of you the opportunity to interact with

other MICA members with similar business concerns. The as-

sociate member forum will discuss several issues of interest to

our associate members regarding their membership status in

MICA.

We will recognize those companies that participated in our

tenth annual “Best Practices in Safety” Award. This award

was established to formally recognize our member firms’ ef-

forts in safety and safety practices. This year, we again will use

the grading system that recognizes each applicant’s achieve-

ment in developing a quality safety program. With this system,

companies are not competing against each other for awards.

Instead, each applicant will try to achieve the highest award

level where multiple applicants can receive the same award

level. On our second day of meetings, representatives of the

participating firms will meet in a roundtable discussion on

safety. They will share with us their efforts in promoting safety

and establishing best practices in safety.

The Board of Directors feels that each presentation will add

value to your understanding of the technical topics discussed.

You will come away from the convention more informed and

better prepared to successfully manage your business. It is the

Board’s intent to make this convention attractive to our mem-

bership in its location, cost and program content. In this light,

our registration fee has been adjusted to encourage additional

member participation. The registration fee is $515.00 for the

first attendee from a member company. Registration for all

additional attendees from a given company is reduced to $490.

The registration fee is $925.00 for the first member and spouse

registered from a member company. Registration for all addi-

tional registered couples from a given company is reduced to

$900. This year we have included a children’s registration for

the Welcome Reception and Farewell Brunch events only.

The fee is $50.00 to $100.00 per child. The Board is delighted

to offer this incentive for multiple attendees from member com-

panies. The benefit of joining an association comes from par-

ticipating in association activities.

The eighteenth annual “Mick Van Horn Memorial Golf

Tournament” is set for Tuesday afternoon, June 21, 2016, at

The LedgeStone Golf Course in Branson West. We have a

shotgun start set for 1:00 p.m. Described by Golf Digest as a

“masterpiece of mountain golf architecture,” LedgeStone's 18-

hole championship layout offers the kind of golfing experience

where “players don’t want the round to end.” With panoramic

vistas of the ancient Ozark Mountains and the spectacular natu-

ral beauty of serene water, faultless Bent Grass greens and tree-

lined Zoysia fairways, LedgeStone inspires golfers and non-
