We invite you to join us for our 2019 Annual Conference and continue the tradition of an affordable, educational and entertaining conference experience for Member United Ways across Michigan. Returning to the Crystal Mountain Resort & Spa, this year’s conference will be held from Tuesday, June 18 - Thursday, June 20, 2019.
The conference will begin with our Pre-Cons on Tuesday. Workshops will begin on Wednesday morning. We will be honoring United Way Staff at our 2019 Michigan Association of United Ways Excellence Awards during Thursday’s luncheon.
We know that the “one-size fits all” model doesn’t work for each of our United Ways, which is why this year we’re removing “conference tracks” and encouraging participants to choose the workshop that best fits their education needs and interests. We’re excited to offer multi-faceted workshops that will engage participants and allow them to leave the Annual Conference recharged for campaign season.
We’ve worked hard to keep conference registration rates low. Registration for this year will cost $200 per person and includes a networking reception on Tuesday, June 18, breakfast, lunch and dinner on Wednesday, June 19 as well as breakfast and lunch on Thursday, June 20.
We hope to see you at Crystal Mountain!

We are looking forward to kicking off the conference with casual networking, laughter and refreshments at the Welcome Reception on Tuesday, June 20th at 5pm.
