2025 Mid Year Meeting

The Mid Year Meeting has grown over the years from a summer board meeting to a family networking event with business session speakers, committee meetings, a board meeting and leadership council meeting, as well as the DCA Town Hall. In addition to an annual golf outing, many activities are planned with DCA member families in mind.

Registration for the 2025 Mid Year Meeting, to be held July 14-17 at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, will open May 1, 2025.
