BSMA, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting active duty service members, veterans, and their families, proudly announces its annual Spring Department Conferences taking place across three states Ohio, Michigan, and Minnesota.

All three conferences will feature guest speakers, recognize both first time attendees and veteran Blue Star Mothers, and present a Shining Star award within each Department to honor outstanding service and dedication.

Many attendees describe these conferences as both inspiring and empowering experiences.
