CANCELED 2023 MAFCA Winter Conference

Due to the pending winter storm (significant ice and snow), we have made the decision to cancel the in-person conference scheduled in Grand Rapids this Thursday, February 23rd, and Friday, February 24th. I know this comes with disappointment for all of us, but the safety of our membership is primary! Please stay tuned for an update from our conference team regarding potential virtual sessions on Thursday (shortened for sure) and Friday (DHHS and Ben) and/or updated conference information.

Please contact the Canopy Hotel immediately to cancel reservations (you should be able to cancel without penalty).

Thank you for your understanding and patience!
