MBA Annual Convention
From its unique venue to its many social gatherings, family-fun events and enriching educational sessions, the MBA Annual Convention is a tradition worth savoring. In 2012, we celebrate 125 years as the voice of Michigan banking. Be part of the tradition. Save the date: June 19-22, 2012.
Grand Hotel ▪ Mackinac Island
Truly grand, for more than a century.
Since it opened on July 10, 1887, Grand Hotel has been an integral part of the history of the state of Michigan. This year, Grand Hotel celebrates its 125th Anniversary as America's Summer Place. This National Historic Landmark is truly one of a kind. The hotel’s original architecture, charm and relaxing ambiance have been tastefully preserved. Contributing greatly to the hotel’s ambience is the relaxed atmosphere of Mackinac Island, where cars are not allowed and the horse and carriage and bicycle are favoured modes of transportation.
