Education—Passport to the Future
Education can never be taken for granted. While we have had challenges with finding a suitable venue we can call home for in - person events, we do continue to heed and recognize the needs of members to their education budgets. We thank everyone who has offered some insight into this search. We also thank everyone for their patience as we do look forward to in - person events. The bottom line though, is whether we offer these presentations by Zoom or in - person, we are so grateful to the experts who rally for us to share their considerable expertise. Their tremendous support to the community - at - large continues to be staggering and we are all benefitting from their substantial knowledge and experience. We receive welcome feedback on the events from those who attend and appreciate the time taken for their assessments. As always, we are so thankful for the generosity of our sponsors, those who are our annual sponsors and those who sponsor a particular event. Their support is incredible. If you missed an event presented via Zoom, please refer to the website Event Presentation Archive here. You can also contact the Administrator via email to request a copy of the slides. Please note that there may be changes to upcoming events on the last page of slides as we continue to navigate.
