Michigan Division President's Message

Spring is upon us in full bloom! Weather is warmer (and wetter), but we know the showers will bring flowers. Spring also brings eager anticipation as Michigan Division is gearing up for our annual meeting coming up May 17-18, 2013 at Park Place Hotel in Traverse City, MI. Attendance numbers are looking good and the Michigan Division Board is excited and energized as we prepare for an informative, fun, and productive conference.

Excitement is also building for members preparing to attend EFAM in Anaheim, California July 27-31, 2013. What great opportunities this association provides for members!

If you need assistance from the Board of Directors, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming MDAM!

Ruth Sorensen, 2012-2013 President
Michigan Division IAAP
