I don’t see committee meetings on the schedule. When are they taking place? 
In order to maximize our time in Mexico, all committee meetings will be held via conference call prior to the Spring Conference. The Board of Directors meeting is the only one that will take place on-site in Mexico. View the committee call schedule here. 

I see golf on the schedule, but not cycling. Will cycling be scheduled? 
There is no formal cycling scheduled. If you are interested in cycling while in Mexico, contact Meetings and Membership Manager Diann Harris at diann@corfac.com or (224) 257-4302.

I want to participate in the Dine Around on Wednesday night but I don’t see a spot to register for it -- what should I do?
The Dine Around in Mexico will be an informal event that does not require advanced registration. If you would like to participate, simply head to the lobby of the Grand Hyatt Resort following the Opening Reception on Wednesday night. From there, CORFAC staff will direct you and others to reserved tables at a local restaurant. Each participant will pay for their own meal and drinks.

Does my health insurance cover me while in Mexico?
Please check your medical insurance policy to make certain it provides coverage in Mexico. If not, there are medical supplemental policies you can purchase for short periods of time at a reasonable price. Your medical provider should be able to provide a recommendation. 

Is a passport required to travel to Mexico?
Yes, a valid passport or passport card is required for all U.S. citizens traveling to Mexico. A visa may be required for entry from certain countries as well. Contact the Mexican embassy or consulate nearest you for more information about the requirements specific to your situation.

I have heard about a new warning regarding travel to Mexico. Where can I get more information?
