September 28, 2023 to September 30, 2023

Please plan to attend!

We stand at a critical crossroads in the history of our organization. We need your voice! This is your chance to learn how other leaders are addressing the vital issues we face and how you can position your center for the future.

The conference program will be held on the 28th and 29th. For those who wish to hang around and spend an exciting time in the D, we are offering an additional elective day on the 30th to tour the city in the morning and attend a Detroit Tigers game in the afternoon. We look forward to seeing you!
