Convention & Visitors Bureau
The Lake of the Ozarks Convention & Visitor Bureau (LOCVB) was first called the Lake of the Ozarks Improvement Association in 1932. Over the years, the name was changed to the Lake of the Ozarks Association, and shortened by many as simply, Lake Association. In the early 1980’s, the official name was changed to Lake of the Ozarks Convention & Visitor Bureau.
