here is what some of last year’s attendees
had to say about the event:
Excellent program. Rarely do I attend a CLE that is so full of PRACTICAL, USEFUL
information that is relevant to my practice.
A heartfelt “thank you” for all who worked to put together what is a “not-to-bemissed” annual event. It is helpful and useful and has not lost its sense of humour.
