Hello AGA Chapter!
AGA Southern Wisconsin has a lot of things in motion. Most notable is that the Spring Symposium schedule is nearly finalized and the registration information will be available soon. We are working on setting up some chapter webinars and will be starting to use Conferences I/O for attendance tracking, Q&A during the session, and CPE certificates.
AGA National has some upcoming events that are free for members
Go to www.agacgfm.org for details and to register.
It is membership renewal season! All memberships expire on March 31. In past years, AGA National has let these hold off until April for late renewals, but they will be doing a firm cut-off this year. Keep this in mind if you want to register for any of the May members only sessions! This year they will only be sending renewal invoices by email. You can pay on-line and have the option to select “auto renewal.” They are also adding a way to indicate you would like to get text message updates from them; over 700 people have opted in over the past month.
If you have been thinking about the CGFM certification, be sure to check out the great specials in February. When you submit your application, you will get the bonus item noted on the specials calendar (see page 5 for more information). This would be a great kick-start to enhance your career path.
