Planning for the 2020 Annual Conference is in full swing. The Annual Conference Committee has been hard at work putting together a powerful speaker lineup. Thank you to everyone who submitted a proposal during the Call for Submission period. Our dedicated team of reviewers is now examining all submissions and we anticipate having final decisions out to those who submitted in mid-November.
