In July of 1988, the American Bar Association Commission on Legal Problems of the Elderly and Commission on the Mentally Disabled convened a National Guardianship Symposium that became known as Wingspread, after the conference center of that name in Racine, Wisconsin. The 1988 Wingspread Symposium produced a set of landmark recommendations for reform of the nation’s guardianship system. Wingspan—The Second National Guardianship Conference, was convened November 30 through December 2, 2001, more than a decade after the original 1988 Wingspread Symposium, to examine the progress made in the interim, and the steps that should be recommended for the future with respect to guardianship law, policy, and practice.
