2008 Spring Conference Highlights

MACPO’s annual spring conference was at a new location this year at Breezy Point Resort near Brainerd, MN. Training tracks included chemical dependency, general and supervisor specific. We had the most vendors on display at we have ever. The weather cooperated on Thursday afternoon and it was perfect to play golf after the training was completed. Thank you to the Training and Education Committee for a great job.
