47th Annual Spring Conference is in the Books
The early feedback from about 100 attendees indicates the 47th Annual Spring Conference was a success. It isn't too late to provide us feedback. See email link from Doug that was sent on Wednesday. Great job to Doug, Katy, and Ginny for all of their work. Also, for many years, Past President of MoASSP, Neal Penberthy, volunteers his time to assist throughout the conference. Thanks also to our 20 plus presenters who took time to share with their colleagues. We had many highlights, and this Messenger underscores some of the happenings in recent days. Save the date for the 48th Annual Spring Conference, March 29-31, 2020 at The Lodge of Four Seasons.
