MPC Hotel Reservation Deadline Approaching
The deadline for making hotel reservations at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch, the host hotel for the January 2014 MPC meeting, is December 13. After that date, NOLHGA can no longer guarantee the special NOLHGA room rate of $229/night plus tax.
Online hotel reservations and meeting registration for the January 7–8 meeting are available on the meeting Web page. A preliminary schedule will be posted next week, but we expect the meeting to run all day on both January 7 and 8 (Tuesday and Wednesday), and we encourage attendees to make their travel plans accordingly.
If you have any trouble accessing the meeting Web page, please contact Dan Hicks at [email protected] or 703.787.4112. If you have any questions about the meeting, contact Sean McKenna at [email protected] or 703.787.4106.

Updated versions of NOLHGA's annual Assessment and Capacity Reports have been posted on the Facts & Figures--Assessment Data section of the NOLHGA Web site.
NOLHGA annually compiles information from guaranty associations on assessment activity--whether assessed, called (billed), or refunded. This information is used to generate various reports reflecting capacity or assessment activity (amounts assessed, called, or refunded) by insolvency, state, year, or account. Please note that all amounts are in thousands.
The reports cover the period from 1988 to 2012 and contain assessment information on approximately 200 insolvent companies. If any guaranty association personnel note an error in the data, please submit corrected information to Paul Peterson at [email protected] or 703.787.4119.
