Spring Conference(link)
The principal purpose of the conferences is to strengthen the Association and support its mission by bringing women together to meet in their personal and professional needs and sustain the long-term viability of the Association. All business skills seminars qualify for Continuing Education Units. This non-degree credit is granted to programs that meet the standards of the International Association for Continuing Education and Training. Although one of the purposes of spring conferences is educational, the education is not all in a traditional classroom setting. Members are given opportunities  to meet informally to share success stories and network.
