The seminar “ There Are No Stupid Questions! ” never disappoints! As always, we are thrilled by the legal experts who so graciously join us to present on issues that most of us can recognize as “ Ah - ha Moments ”. We weren ’ t disappointed to be reminded of them because while some issues might fade into a background for a time, they can rear again and to be reminded is so valuable in the work we all do in our communities.
