The event will be conducted in the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Auditorium, Oakland County Courthouse, 1200 North Telegraph in Pontiac. Check-in begins at 11:30 a.m. and a light luncheon will be provided. Maura Corrigan, director of the Michigan Department of Human Services will be the keynote speaker.

SAVE's Courage Awards will be presented to the following: Micheline Sommers of Oakland Family Services, HAVEN, and The Center for Elder Law of Michigan.
