The 16th Annual Central States Bankruptcy Workshop will take place June 11-14 at the fabulous Grand Traverse Resort and Spa in Traverse City, Mich.  This year's conference features 24 bankruptcy judges on faculty, as well as an alternative workshop structure: one that caters to the consumer bankruptcy professional and one that caters to the business bankruptcy professional.  Also enjoy the resort and surrounding area that boasts vineyards, outdoor activities and museums.  One session will be of particular interest to the committee.
