The 2016 AFA Spring Board of Directors Meeting will take place at the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute in Morrilton, May 12-13.  The Winthrop Rockefeller Institute's 188-acre campus was once part of Gov. Rockefeller's innovative cattle farm and estate, as were many of the structures — from the distinctive silos rising behind the main lobby to the largest conference space, Show Barn Hall, to the Boathouse on Lake Abby, named after Gov. Rockefeller's.

The Legacy Gallery houses a permanent exhibit titled “Winthrop Rockefeller: a Sphere of Power and Influence Dropped into a River of Need.” The product of an exhaustive survey of some 10,000 photos at the Winthrop Rockefeller Archives at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, the exhibit comprises more than 300 restored and enlarged images making up 180 murals and interpretive panels that tell the story of a truly remarkable man.

On Thursday, May 12, starting at 6 p.m., we will have a reception and dinner. After dinner, guests will be allowed to tour the exhibits of the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute.

This year's hotel accommodations are available at Winthrop Rockefeller Institute with a room rate of $89 per night for a single or double occupancy.  Call 501-727-5435 or 866-972-7778 and reverence Group # 65389 to receive the AFA special discounted rate.  The room reservation deadline is April 29.
