This month will be a highly interactive working session focused on the future of our chapter. We’ll be sharing ways to get involved through Board Member and committee opportunities, gathering your ideas for our 2026 programs, and talking about how we can grow and strengthen our chapter together. Your voice and perspective truly matter, and this is a great chance to help shape what comes next. Plus, there will be a SURPRISE for those who attend!
