Executive Director Report

What a great year! I would like to thank everyone who participated and sponsored this year’s events. We would not exist without you. If you missed last year’s events, don’t panic. We at MWDLI are working hard and have already begun planning next year’s activates. Here’s what we have on the calendar so far:

The MWDLI Advisory Council has selected the Hollywood Casino & Hotel in Lawrenceburg, IN as the location for the 2020 MWDLI Annual Convention. This will be the first MWDLI Convention held in Lawrenceburg. It was chosen for its overall location, gambling, golf, shopping, restaurants and other attractions in the area. This year, the convention will begin on Friday evening August 7th and end Saturday midday on August 8th. This will allow for ample educational opportunities, while making time for fun and relaxation. The convention will include Friday morning golf and Friday night cocktail reception, dinner, and educational speakers. There will also be a silent auction and tabletop exhibits sponsored by our vendors.

In March, MWDLI will be hosting a night out with the Pacers as they host the Miami Heat. Ticket prices are $125 and include beer, wine and food. This is a great night for socializing, networking and entertainment. Detailed information will be coming soon. There are a very limited number of tickets available for the game, so if you plan to attend, don’t wait. Last year, MWDLI sold out of its allotted tickets.

So now, we want to hear from you. Have an idea or suggestion? Tell us! We are here working for you. I can be reached at 765-969-5745.

I look forward to seeing everyone in 2020.

Happy Holidays!
