News and Events

An enthusiastic group of 21 Region 5 members rolled the dice and jumped at their chance to attend ACCED-I’s 28 th Annual Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, March 8-12. A well-rounded itinerary that included pre-conference workshops, inspirational keynote and endnote presentations, educational sessions, roundtable discussions, special events and an Expo featuring 30 exhibitors – all set along the glitzy Las Vegas Strip -- made the experience “A Sure Bet” for everyone.

Sunday’s Regional Dinner at Maggiano’s Little Italy gave Region 5 attendees the opportunity to socialize and network with fellow colleagues from Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota and Saskatchewan. After sampling a delicious array of appetizers, salads and entrée items, Robert Bodart, University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, was surprised with a birthday serenade and tiramisu dessert!
