Create your own Pathway to Growth

Pre-Conference Workshops

Plan to attend a Pre-Conference Workshop on Tuesday, November 8.  You'll explore specific topics with experts from across the industry, understand new concepts, and gain practical insights that can't be covered in just an hour or two.  You'll also meet other professionals with similar interests.  Together you can compare perspectives and deepen your awareness of a topic most relevant to your professional and organizational needs, including governance, program quality, continuing competence, and legal issues.
