September Monthly Program - Educational Roundtables

Starting our chapter year with an interactive, collaborative and creative educational session. Show up with questions and your own best practices to share with fellow members as we rotate through a series of round table discussions.

After a casual lunch, attendees will have 20 minutes to discuss three different facilitated topics. Choose the three you are most interested in or have the most to share. You’re sure to end the day with a page full of takeaways/ideas that you can use with your upcoming meetings/groups.
