We are all so excited for this brand new initiative! The chapter's newsletter committee has been hard at work to develop a new, dual-version online publication, "Conversations + Connections" that will hit your inboxes every Wednesday. One week the issue will focus on “Conversations” and will provide interviews from MPI-CAC members and leadership, featured topics, chapter news and much more. In alternating weeks the issue will focus on “Connections” and highlight upcoming MPI-CAC events. | | Read More |
