Dear Friends of the Michigan Ground Water Association:

As we celebrate our 96th anniversary, it is our hope that you will join us at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa in Acme, Michigan, to continue to support the MGWA and our efforts to provide the strongest voice possible on groundwater issues and our industry in the state of Michigan.

Participation is vital to continue to grow our voice and speak up about our industry. Learn more about our continued efforts in person, as well as visit with the industry professionals who will be on hand to exhibit, share knowledge, and advocate for groundwater.

We look forward to seeing you in March!
