DETAILS: Tuesday, May 14
We will fly you from your hometown to the airport in Palm Springs, CA, where you will be picked you up by a private/group car and driven to the resort. You will arrive at Hilton’s Miramonte Resort and Spa in Indian Wells, CA, with time to settle in before the evening events begin.
In early evening, you will join us for the AAFMAA Reception. AAFMAA is the organization that created SpouseLink. At the reception, AAFMAA’s President and Treasurer, MAJ Walter Lincoln USA Ret., CFP®, will celebrate and recognize certain AAFMAA Members as they enjoy a buffet-style dinner and drinks. You may spend the remainder of the evening at your leisure.
DETAILS: Wednesday, May 15
We begin the day with a light, catered breakfast in the meeting room at 9am.
Throughout the day, you will meet, mingle and learn alongside the SpouseLink team, Ambassadors, and other Ambassador Candidates during our training session. The session is designed to inform you about SpouseLink and AAFMAA so that you will be able to share that information with others when you attend events in your home community.
We take multiple breaks throughout the session, including a catered lunch, and the vibe is business casual. We also spend a lot of time laughing as we get to know each other! Bonus: We can open the wall of doors in the room to let in the sunshine and fresh air.
Once the session ends, you will have time to relax at the resort. This may be a good time to go for a swim or just hang out by the pool… or head to the spa for a treatment. We recommend you pre-schedule your appointment. (Please note that any treatments you receive will be at your expense.)
Time for dinner! Join us under the stars, from 6:30-8pm, as we enjoy delicious California cuisine served by the resort restaurant al fresco style. Warning: Decadent desserts are on the menu!
DETAILS: Thursday, May 16
Enjoy one last buffet breakfast served at the resort restaurant.
So long, Palm Springs. Depending on your flight arrangements, you may use the morning at your leisure… perhaps taking a bike ride around the property and surrounds, or enjoying one last refreshing swim.
