GLR Emergency Services Conference
The 2025 Great Lakes Region Emergency Services Conference Was A Great Success!
The conference was held at the Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth, Indiana, on Friday, 17 January 2025. It was an excellent opportunity for all members of Great Lakes Region to meet, discuss various topics of interest, and share best practices.
This conference was open to cadets and adult members. Cadets must arrange for their adult member chaperones, as the conference will not be responsible for coordinating chaperones during the event. Cadets must have a CAPF 60-80 when they arrive at the conference.

Members can arrive Friday, 19 January, after 1700 EST and enjoy social time and camaraderie with other members of the Great Lakes Region.
