WSAE 2021 Spring Fore-ward
It is with great excitement that we will be offering the 2021 Spring Fore-ward in-person June 7-8, 2021, hosted by the beautiful Grand Geneva Resort and Spa. This event centers around professional development and the long-awaited networking opportunities and reconnecting with fellow association executives, meeting professionals and industry partners.
In lieu of an organized golf tournament, we are offering tee times for anyone interested in taking advantage of the beautiful Grand Geneva Golf Course.
COVID-19 Code of Conduct
WSAE is preparing the Spring Fore-ward event experience so that all individuals on-site, attendees, speakers, staff, and venue personnel remain safe, healthy, and comfortable throughout the event. The health and safety of our members is our top priority.
Masks will be mandatory during the Spring Fore-ward event regardless of the State of Wisconsin lifting the mandatory mask mandate. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own masks. Please be sure you are comfortable with our Code of Conduct, which outlines our mask policy, and are willing to sign the COVID-19 Waiver before registering for WSAE’s Spring Fore-ward event.
Golf
In lieu of an organized golf tournament, we are offering tee times for anyone interested in taking advantage at the beautiful Highlands Golf Course at the Grand Geneva Resort and Spa. The Highlands is a Scottish-inspired, links-style course, complete with a beautiful landscape of scenic hills, bubbling creeks and lush foliage. This Lake Geneva golf course was originally designed by Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus and transformed in 1996 by Bob Cupp.
The course provides an outstanding golf experience, weaving and rolling through the glacier-formed terrain of Southwestern Wisconsin yet transporting golfers to Scotland, without them having to own a passport or "hop the pond."
Masks will not be required on the golf course but will be required when indoors or in an enclosed space and other people are present in the same room. Please see the resorts’ Message for Golfers as it relates to health and safety measures for COVID-19.
Lake Cruise
Thank you to Lake Geneva Cruise Line and Lake Life Catering for sponsoring our networking social on Monday, June 7th! We will be cruising the stunning Geneva Lake onboard the beautiful Steam Yacht Louise. Food and libations will be provided courtesy of our wonderful sponsors.
