Each year at the Annual Conference, educational leaders from around the state gather to honor the best principals working in Michigan. #MEMSPA100 is no different, and we are thrilled to celebrate the passionate leadership that makes a difference to students everyday.

Every leader has different professional growth needs, and we have that covered! At the #MEMSPA100 Annual Conference, we have over 60 sessions, addressing the myriad needs of educational leaders. Attendees have their pick of sessions and can design their own conference experience.
