Welcome!
2013 Challenge & Change Conference
Well, when the dust settled after our 26th annual conference, more than 530 of you attended, and 320 came to the Schmooze on Thursday night. By all accounts, people enjoyed the great lineup of speakers ably put together by Karen Gadowsky once again. And the Schmooze was a hit yet again, although we did have to encourage a few dozen of you stragglers to leave and continue your merriment elsewhere!
