Invitation to Exhibit
2015 Spring Conference
The Michigan Guardianship Association is excited to invite you to participate in our
2015 Spring Conference at the beautiful Shoreline Inn Hotel and Conference Center.
This is an amazing opportunity for you to network with guardians, healthcare professionals,
advocates, attorneys and other MGA members. As a valued participant you will have the
opportunity to learn from our experienced and knowledgeable speakers as they make
informational presentations on important issues for surrogate decision makers.
We offer several unique sponsorship packages – each offering an array of promotional
opportunities to leave a lasting impression with potential clients and colleagues.
We heard what you had to say! After reviewing exhibitor surveys from our last few conferences,
we have decided that exhibit space will be open on Thursday, May 14th only. However, all
packages include conference registration and meals for both days. We hope you will consider
staying for the education, food and networking on Friday, May 15th!
Do not delay or you may miss out on this fantastic opportunity to promote your agency.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Sara Dziurman
