Among the most valued aspects of the annual Management Briefing Seminars is relationship building throughout the week. Not all the knowledge sharing takes place in the seminars; we allow plenty of time for networking and socializing with colleagues. In addition to the continental breakfasts and lunches, there is a scramble golf tournament. Evening activities are designed for relaxation and informal conversation. The plans this year include:

Monday, August 3

Golf Tournament

Join us on Monday, August 3 for the fourth annual CAR MBS Golf Outing that will take place on the Gary Player designed Wolverine Golf Course at the Grand Traverse Resort & Spa. This year's tournament will begin with a staggered start at 12:30 p.m. A buffet lunch will be available prior to the tournament. Sign up for the tournament during the registration process. You must be registered for one or more days of the conference to be eligible to play.

Last year's tournament was a sell-out so sign up early! The cost this year is $125 for lunch and golf, (if you must cancel, we will refund all but $25).
