Why Can't We All Just Get Along?
Christine Cashen
Keynote Speaker
I know that many of your districts have eliminated
paying for travel and professional development this year;
however, remember that we do not charge our institutional
members a registration fee for our conference, the luncheon is
provided and the information is timely and accurate. Same
place, different topics!
Everything won’t be different, however. We are bringing
back the popular Christine Cashen for a new topic. Her hilarious
realism will thrill and uplift your spirits with her presentation
on “Why Can’t Everyone Just Get Along?” Don’t miss her
on Thursday morning. She will be a great way to begin your
day and the conference.
After Christine, we will have a continuation in the general
session with the topic of “Health Care Reform”, or what do I
have to do before January 1st? Mary Nash, Assistant V.P, with
American Fidelity Assurance Company works with this every day and will provide a
wealth of information to affirm what you know or give you the steps to be in compliance.
You must hear her. Be there!
