The Covid situation has caused some real challenges in organizing our annual conference this year. As a result you will notice that some things are a little different than in years past, while some have remained the same. We are truly blessed to be working with Paul Beachnau and Christy Wolcott at the Gaylord CVB and all of the folks at Tree Tops Resort. We are equally blessed to have the very best Corporate, Conservation and Tourism Members in the country. Without their flexibility, understanding and financial support none of this would have been possible.

The conference schedule is about 1 ½ days shorter than normal. It will kick off midday Monday and end Wednesday evening. All of the excursions “off site” will be offered as Pre and Post Conference Trips on Sunday, Monday, Thursday and Friday of conference week. The sign-up form for those excursions will be forthcoming in the next few days, separate from the conference registration form.

Regarding Covid, while attending conference activities we will adhere to whatever is current protocol in the state of Michigan. Covid protocol has been somewhat fluid over the recent past and we will do our best inform attendees of the current requirements in the days just before the start of the conference. Whatever that protocol may be, Tree Tops is a large facility with more than adequate indoor and outdoor space for maintaining social distance during our group activities.
