It’s almost here. Great opportunity to meet others and to learn more about our programs. We have this because many cannot make it to Convention or Clovis, so we bring it to you.
Send me an email if you are coming.

Be a great idea for each Chair to give a 3-5 min. Overview of their Program so all members have a better idea what we are about. Suggest looking at your mid-year reports for ideas and activities for your program.
