It will provide learning and development opportunities featuring highly interactive workshops, leadership and personal development sessions, and common interest roundtable discussions.

Are You a Lucky Duck?
Enter Your Rubber Duckie in the Grand Rapids Race!
As part of our charity event with Pure Water for the World (PWW), we will be having a rubber duckie race down the Grand River. Hundreds of ducks will be released upstream and race toward the finish line at the pedestrian bridge, where we’ll be having the awards festivities.
Purchase your rubber duck ($25 each) and see if you are one of five lucky $50 gift certificate winners. The winner of the duck race will receive the grand prize–an original customized work of art by AWT’s own Kevin Cope, as well as two free registrations to the 2018 Convention in Orlando. The various regions of the country will be competing against one another for bragging rights–don’t miss out!
