We are actively working on getting the Symposium schedule in place. Hold the date! Wednesday, May 8, at Union South. Once this schedule is done, we will get some webinars set up.
It is membership renewal season. They now offer the opportunity to sign up for recurring billing so you don’t have to remember each spring (but they will send an email ahead to remind you it is coming). Please consider checking your information on-line. There are a number of people with outdated addresses (email and physical). Keeping your email current ensures you are receiving all the notifications for members only events and chapter events.
