MIRSA 2008 Workshop
Create Solutions, Conquer Obstacles
Please join us for the 2008 MIRSA State Workshop held at Wayne State University in midtown Detroit.
In this turbulent time of budget cuts and increasing minimum wage, we are all forced to make hard decisions about our programs and operation of our facilities. In order to increase the quality and quantity of our departments we must focus on creative programming and operating designs. At the 2008 MIRSA workshop you will be energized to confront the obstacles facing Campus Recreation and will be provided with ideas and solutions to your specific needs. Use this time to learn from your peers, share your successes and Create Solutions to Conquer Obstacles!
