| Winter Conference Update
|
|
Greetings,
With a record 408 registered
attendees at this year's 28th Annual Winter Conference,
we had a wonderful crowd of around 600 at Manchester
Community College on March 6th. We'd like to thank
Manchester Community College and all the volunteers,
vendors, sponsors, presenters and raffle donors for
making this our best conference yet.
Thanks to everyone who sent in
or dropped off an evaluation form. If you attended
and didn't get a chance to fill one out, please take a
minute to let us know what you thought and how we can
improve things for next year's conference. Click
here to print a copy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We'll be back on schedule for
the April Gleanings eNewsletter - with our guest
columnists, new business member profiles and other
regular features. Happy Spring!
