MIDWest Conference 2012

May 20 - 22, 2012

Grand Harbor Resort
Dubuque, Iowa

This multi-state conference occurs every other year and is a great chance for professional development and networking. With three additional ACAC's represented this spring, presenting a session offers even greater opportunity for visibility. First-timers, this would be a wonderful way to get involved and meet new people from Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas and Wisconsin. Session topics could include: Professional development, testing, financial aid, athletics, government relations, alumni networking, professional /personal rejuvenation, diversity, or any other topics relating to our profession.
