Hotel Accomodations
The Grand Traverse Resort and Spa is the highest-rated full-service
resort facility in Northern Michigan. On the shores of Lake Michigan,
the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa invites attendees to bring along the
family to enjoy this beautiful area. The warm sand at the Shores Beach
Club welcomes all to simply soak up the sun, set sail on a catamaran,
windsurf or charter a sailing vessel. Wave runners, pedal boats and
parasailing provide plenty of excitement the whole family will enjoy.
Away from the beach, attendees can take advantage of golf, tennis,
weightlifting, volleyball, aerobics and racquetball. ABI has arranged
for special rates of $175 for hotel accommodations, $205 for Tower
reservations and $199 for one-bedroom condos. Reservations must be made
directly with the resort by May 13, 2007. Reservations may be made only
once you have registered with ABI. Upon payment of the conference
registration fees, you will receive a hotel reservation card with your
conference information. Rooms are held on a first-come, first-served
basis. ABI cannot guarantee any rooms after the specially rated ABI
block is filled.

there will be persons who need to attend an educational seminar for CLE
credit who are not able to pay full registration fees. ABI will handle
such instances on a case-by-case basis and will work with the individual
on alternative solutions. For persons who cannot meet the full
registration rate, ABI will offer a reduced rate based on what the
individual can reasonably afford to cover of the cost of meals and
materials. For persons unable to pay a reduced rate, we may allow the
individual to work at our registration area for a few hours during
attendee check-in, or assist in conference set-up. ABI also has reduced
rates for government employees, professors, law clerks and students. For
information on tuition assistance, send an e-mail to
jgood@abiworld.org.

All conference registration fees, except a $75 handling fee, will be
