MFSA’s Regional Training Workshops

MFSA has created three new comprehensive training programs to bring educational opportunities to a metropolitan area near your company. These regional training workshops are designed for companies who find it difficult to have key executives or operational staff out of the facility for multi-day national conferences. These workshops offer small class sizes within driving distance to provide world-class education locally!

These workshops are designed to be hosted at member facilities in 2010. Individual registration for one to two attendees: $175 each, corporate registration (3+ attendees): $425 for all.
