CPAM 2020 Conference cancelled , 2021 conference will be held at "Shanty Creek Resort"

May 13, 2020

Dear Friends,

I hope everyone is doing well.

The world is in an uncertain place right now. In these unprecedented times across the world, our communities, families and workplaces are trying to adjust to life during the COVID-19 outbreak.

We have regretfully made the decision to cancel the 2020 CPAM Conference and our CPAM Board has been working with Shanty Creek Resort regarding this. Unfortunately, with the current state of unknowns looking towards October including financial concerns as an organization, conference attendance numbers, and presenter availability we really could not wait longer to make this decision while in contract with Shanty Creek Resort.

We have been in contact with Shanty Creek Resort staff and they are very understanding of our decision having had numerous conferences canceled through 2020 now. We were financially released from our contract due to the situation and their great business ethics. We are looking towards making Shanty Creek and Bellaire, MI our conference destination in 2023 at this time.

We are however excited to share with you that the date and location for the 2021 Conference location is set! Mark your calendar for October 25, 2021 – October 29, 2021, and check out the Park Place Hotel at https://www.park-place-hotel.com/

This is a beautiful Hotel in a convenient location, and we will be working on a Conference Agenda you will not want to miss!! Lots more information will follow as planning progresses.

** Please note that Membership Fees - $30 are now due, our membership form can be found online at http://crimepreventionassociationofmichigan.org/

We look forward to receiving your membership renewal and if you have any questions or concerns please contact any one of us.

Stay safe and healthy and we will update you as to our organization’s plans for quarterly training the remainder of the 2020 calendar year.

Sincerely,

Andrew Kozal, CPAM, President
