MESPA Leadership Conference 2023 

 September 24 - 25th

MESPA: Improve. Unite. Encourage. Advocate.

MESPA's annual Leadership Conference is an opportunity for MESPA's leaders to get together to help plan another fantastic year for MESPA members. This conference brings together the Executive Committee, Board of Directors, and all committee members to meet, plan, network, and have some fun!

Your presence is vital! This conference is the kickoff to our MESPA year. We need your voice at this conference. Your input will determine the association's priorities, as well as establish a key network to communicate and carry out MESPA activities, issues, and concerns. YOU represent our membership! We need you there to ensure that we are moving forward as an association, with divisions and committees all supporting one another. It is a requirement for division leaders, committee chairs, and committee representatives to attend this conference.

Play a Round of Golf Sunday Morning?

(Sunday Sept. 24, 7:30 am-10:30 am)

Breezy Point Resort offers three 18-hole golf courses that challenge players of every ability. Deacon’s Lodge was designed by Arnold Palmer and named after his father “Deacon”—this par 72 championship course features 18-holes and impeccably maintained bentgrass greens, tees and fairways that smoothly flow across 500 acres of gorgeous forest, wetlands and lakes. Whitebirch is a championship golf course with over 6600 yards of lush fairways, multiple tee boxes, and a healthy assortment of sand and water. The Traditional, a lakes area favorite and known as “the great equalizer,” has been challenging golfers since 1920 with its demanding fairways and undulating greens. Schedule an online tee time.
