The program is designed to assist first and second-year athletic directors, and also covers Association regulations and procedures, featuring presentations by the MHSAA executive staff and a veteran athletic administrator. The conference will conclude by 1 p.m. with lunch. A follow-up workshop for new ADs will take place in the MHSAA office on November 29. Registration is $20 per person.

The MHSAA is a private, not-for-profit corporation of voluntary membership by over 1,500 public and private senior high schools and junior high/middle schools which exists to develop common rules for athletic eligibility and competition. No government funds or tax dollars support the MHSAA, which was the first such association nationally to not accept membership dues or tournament entry fees from schools. Member schools which enforce these rules are permitted to participate in MHSAA tournaments, which attract approximately 1.6 million spectators each year. -0- RL06-002 Farm Bureau Insurance and MEEMIC Insurance are year-round MHSAA Corporate Partners
