The PowerPoint (slide) presentation that would have been done at the regional site will be provided each MARSP chapter on a DVD. As in the past, the presentation will include a message from the MARSP President, a report from the MARSP Executive Director, a report from the MARSP Legislative Committee, and an update on Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Medicare Advantage Private Fee for Service (BCBSM MA PFFS).
Regional Director Monroe Johnson and Assistant Regional Director Rose Henderson will attend the meeting to conduct the voting by delegates and provide additional information.
Menu:
