    The conference planning committee meets at each conference to plan for future conferences and review the just completed conference.  In addition, I have meetings on a regular basis with the staff at our two conference centers to plan for the next conference and make improvments for future conferences.

    I did have a planning meeting in Lansing today with the Radisson Staff to go over concerns and suggestions for future conferences.  I also reviewed with them the progress and status of the renovations to the hotel and conference center.  Three floors of the hotel have completed the remodling phase and 3 additional floors will be completed this summer before our fall conference.  Next summer the remaining 3 floors will be completed.  So by our fall 2011 conference, the project should be complete.

    I will be having a meeting with the staff at the Grand Traverse Resort sometime in the next two weeks in preparation for our spring conference.  I will keep you informed on information from that meeting.

    As always, let me know if you have any questions about conference planning activities.

    We have been evaluating conference content and listening to your comments.  Based on this research, you will see some changes at our fall 2010 conference.  In order to allow attendees to have more choice for topics at our conferences, we are going to offer breakout sessions on Friday instead of a full day of general sessions.  We will be replacing one of the friday afternoon general sessions with 3 breakout sessions.  We hope this will allow a more wide range of credit distribution and allow more choice for attendees.  As always, we are interested in your comments.
