A NOTE FROM THE CEO

As we move toward the end of the year, we’re thinking about what we want to do differently next year. I’m guessing you are doing the same for your business, career, and life!

We’d love your help in crafting our 2021 topics for professional development and the timing for our 2021 Virtual Conference & Symposium by taking our quick survey here.

If you have specific ideas or feedback, please hit “Reply” to this email and let me know!

Also, if you missed it, we shared a few resources in our annual “thank you” email last month. You can see the resources and discounts here
