Back In-Person, Finally!

ABSTRACT

Paniati asserts that throughout COVID-19, we've learned more about reaching members virtually. The online delivery of professional development opportunities is really valued by the members, and we need to continue to deliver those in both virtual and hybrid forms. The recent Spring Conference is a great example. We just completed our second annual delivery of this event, and it is clear from the strong registration that there is continued interest in this learning opportunity, particularly by the public sector. This conference offers a great low-cost way to stay on top of our profession's latest developments and earn professional development hours. While the online tools for delivering learning opportunities are stellar, they can't replicate the other critical part of professional development in-person networking.
