Our Conference program will include a workshop on lobbying techniques and a detailed briefing on pending legislation that might have an adverse affect on our members.  Tuesday’s activities will be followed with a Legislative Reception that evening.  This will give our delegates an opportunity to meet and discuss issues with their respective legislators.
