Join Us at the 2025 Affiliates in Motion Conference: Building Community Together
The annual Affiliates in Motion (AIM) Conference is fast approaching, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring together the Habitat for Humanity family from across Michigan. Mark your calendars for October 27-30, 2025, as we gather at the beautiful Soaring Eagle Resort in Mt. Pleasant for four days of connection, celebration, and education.
A Celebration of Impact
The highlight of every AIM Conference is our annual awards banquet—an evening filled with inspiration and recognition. This special event showcases the remarkable achievements of Habitat affiliates throughout Michigan, sharing heartwarming stories of families whose lives have been transformed through affordable homeownership. The energy in the room is palpable as we celebrate our collective mission and renew our commitment to building homes, communities, and hope.
The awards banquet honors outstanding contributions from our 44 affiliates across the state. Now is the time to nominate deserving affiliates for the prestigious Affiliate of the Year Award or recognize excellence in retail operations with the ReStore of the Year Award. These nominations highlight innovative programs, exceptional leadership, and meaningful community impact that exemplify the Habitat mission.
Valuable Networking Opportunities
One of the most valuable aspects of the AIM Conference is our dedicated vendor/partner day. This unique opportunity allows organizations that support Habitat’s work to connect directly with affiliate representatives from across Michigan. These face-to-face interactions cultivate stronger partnerships and open doors to new collaborations that ultimately advance our shared goals of affordable housing and community development.
Educational Growth for Everyone
The conference features specialized education sessions designed to strengthen every aspect of our affiliates’ operations. Whether you’re staff, board, or a volunteer, you’ll find relevant content to help you grow in your role. From construction best practices to volunteer management, fundraising strategies to ReStore operations—our diverse session tracks ensure everyone returns home with practical knowledge and fresh ideas.
