IPD Conference Cancellation

I am very sorry to report that we have cancelled the upcoming MEA Instruction and Professional Development (IPD) Conference which was scheduled for December 3-5, at the Kalamazoo Radisson.

The decision was made to cancel the Conference because of very low registrations to-date (much lower than is typical at this time at this time of year).  We understand that school districts are pulling back on their funding of professional development opportunities as the economy has worsened.  As we work to identify savings in the MEA budget, it became apparent the savings were greater to cancel the Conference, rather than to hold a Conference for very few people.

The PD/HR Department will notify all registrants (and refund registration fees) and trainers.

We very much appreciate your understanding.
