It's that time of year again, conference season! We all sit on pins and needles awaiting the coveted conference notice. This gem tells us if there are any proposed amendments, registration fees, and most importantly who will be presenting. EAP, once again, rises to the occasion with a stellar line-up, and a deep discount to members, but surprisingly no proposed amendments. The workshops, on March 24-25, 2023, will explore motions that have limits in their application while others create great latitude.  All conference materials have been posted to the annual meeting section of the website. MEMBERS - FREE* | GUESTS - $18 Registration closes March 17, 2023, at 11:59 PM CT.  REGISTER NOW
