Holiday Inn Grand Rapids
3063 Lake Eastbrook Blvd., SE, Kentwood, MI 49512

These forums have been developed to offer educational opportunities for board members who are unable to attend MACMHB’s annual conferences due to work commitments and travel constraints. The forums will be held regionally throughout the year. We hope that you take advantage of this opportunity to learn how evidence-based practices (EBP) are being implemented successfully in your region, develop new skills and to network with other board members.
