Pack up the family and come to Marco Island in May!

For Spouses

This year's schedule provides several functions designed with the spouse in mind:

• The annual business program features speakers that will appeal to the spouses in attendance.
  • Walter Bond with his overcoming adversity presentation on Sunday morning.
  • Eric Chester with his insight into the "Why" Generation - you might work with them or have them in your household - and you can learn how to motivate and live with the younger generation.
  • Greg Hahn with his insane humor - he's a regular feature at comedy clubs around the country and has a humorous look at the workplace.
  • Special seating will be available in the rear of the ballroom in case you want to stop by just to hear the speakers.
• Opening Reception Barefoot on the Beach - don't feel guilty about leaving the kids in the room, bring them with you! There are still 2 adult evening events for you to enjoy!
• The spouse hospitality will be a breakfast on Sunday morning at the hotel restaurant buffet. Special tables will be available for BSA spouses and you can charge your breakfast right to your room.
