Michigan AEYC wants to celebrate and thank our members for choosing our professional organization. In addition to a reduced conference registration rate, members can enjoy any of the following Member Only opportunities available at the 2022 Annual Early Childhood Conference.
Member Lounge
Visit the Member Lounge located in the Exhibit Hall in DeVos Place, open Thursday and Friday during exhibit hall hours 10:05am – 5:30pm.
The Michigan AEYC Member Lounge is near the entrance to the exhibit hall and a place for members to come and sit, recharge phones, grab a snack, decorate name badges, and meet fellow members. You’ll find past editions of Teaching Young Children and Young Children for you to take with you. There will also be a supply of “funny” badge ribbons to add some flare to your badge. Don’t forget to pick up your annual membership gift here as well!
RELAXATION GARDEN PLANTING in the MEMBER LOUNGE
Take a few minutes and stop by the Member Lounge on Thursday, May 5th starting at 3pm until supplies last and plant a Michigan AEYC Relaxation Garden Box. All supplies provided.
