Introducing the latest addition to this star-studded lineup of emerging leaders

The Association’s President & CEO, Jim Tedford, asked executive leaders in the field to bring their rising stars along with them to The Annual Conference next month. When an executive leader nominates someone on their team, the emerging leader will receive a 50% discount on registration. We were thoroughly inspired by the responses that Jim received, and thought you would be, too.
