WITH SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AROUND COVID-19 IN THE LATE FIRST AND SECOND QUARTERS, PLANNING HOW TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A CONFERENCE, HOW TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO OUR MEMBERSHIP HAD NEEDED A NEW LENS.

TOPICS INCLUDED FOR THE SUMMITS HELD IN 2020 INCLUDED: --COMMUNICATION --NUTRIENTS --WORKFORCE AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
